Horta has a €30m release clause in his current contract and Braga are unwilling to sell for anything less than that.

The Magpies are searching for attacking reinforcements with Joelinton, Miguel Almíron and Andy Carroll all struggling to score consistently.

Napoli and Ajax have also expressed an interest.
