Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez is set to leave the club this summer if he is not granted at least two of the January transfer requests he made at the start of the month.
The Spaniard is desperate for fresh faces to reinforce his current squad as he seeks to ensure the Magpies avoid relegation for a successive season in the Premier League.
But, despite initial optimism at the start of the week that he could get his men, the Telegraph are now reporting that the inaction on any of his pleas has pushed Benitez to "breaking point".
