Recent reports claim that Newcastle United are closing in on Barcelona striker Patrick Kluivert, who may exit the Nou Camp over the New Year.
Barcelona officials insisted yesterday that no official approach had been received for the Dutchman, but would be prepared to sell Kluivert if the price was right.
The Journal says that Kluivert is at the top of the Magpies' short-list of potential Shearer replacers and they believe that Kluivert may exit the Nou Camp over the New Year.
It's reported Newcastle are prepared to offer a package worth £60,000-a-week for the former Ajax striker.
