Marseille are preparing a close season bid for Ayoze Perez.
According to a report on talkSPORT the Newcastle striker is a top target for the big spending French side.
Perez hasn’t been a regular in the Newcastle side this season but there is a feeling that his game may be more suited to the Premier League.
Rafa Benitez appears to be a fan of the former Tenerife striker who is in his third season with Newcastle.
A return to the top flight seems likely for Newcastle with Benitez more concerned about adding players than moving anyone on.
Marseille marked their ambitions in January when they signed Dimitri Payet from West Ham for £25m and will spend big again in the summer as they attempt to compete with Paris St Germain and Monaco for honours.
If the French club put in an offer above £7m Newcastle will be likely to accept for the 23-year-old who has scored five goals in the Championship this season.
