Newcastle United have offered a fee of over €30million for Colombia international Duvan Zapata. The proposed deal is one of a number of high-value transfers being worked on by an ad hoc recruitment team as the Saudi Arabia-owned club's scrambles to buy a way out of relegation from the English Premier League club.

While Atalanta are open to selling Zapata – who has scored 65 goals in 118 Serie A appearances for the Italian club – they are understood to value the 30-year-old at around €45m.
