According to Globo Esporte, Newcastle United are lining up an offer for Vasco da Gama striker Marrony.
The 20-year-old boasts of huge potential despite scoring just six times in 32 games so far for the Brazilian outfit this term.
Magpies’ head of recruitment Steve Nickson flew to the South American nation to personally run the rule over Marrony, and was impressed by the performances of the Vasco attacker.
The youngster has a buyout clause of £31 million, but given the club’s current financial situation, they are open to doing business for a significantly lower amount.
