Newcastle are keen on signing Dries Mertens this summer and they are prepared to offer him sizeable wages.
As per FCInterNews (via Daily Star), the Magpies are ready to offer him around £6.1m-per-season.
The player is thought to be a target for Chelsea as well and it will be interesting to see where the Belgian ends up eventually.
Mertens will be out of contract in the summer and he will be available on a free transfer.
If Newcastle manage to lure him, it would be a tremendous signing for them. Although he is 32, he can still make a difference for them in the short-term.
