Newcastle have been inevitably linked with a former Serie A defender who has just severed his ties with Bologna.

28-year-old Fabio Macellari who can also play in midfield, has turned out for Inter Milan, Cagliari and Lecce in the past, but now is seeking a move abroad.

Bayern Munich, Rangers, Birmingham and Newcastle are said to be in the hunt for Macellari, who would be able to join prior to the re-opening of the transfer window.
