It is not enough for Newcastle to relegate just to sign Trippier, Diego Carlos, Who currently sees Diego Carlos as the first choice for the centre-back position, and after the first £25m offer was rejected, Newcastle is ready to submit another offer, which is close to Sevilla's asking price of £40m. Newcastle are also interested in bringing in Everton left-back Digne, who has been put on the sell list by Benitez, and Everton have signed Ukrainian left-back Miklenko as a replacement. It seems that newcastle winter window reinforcements start at the defender.
