Instead, the Geordies will put all of their cash into a major contract offer for the one-cap England man to tempt him away from Merseyside. The 27-year-old is happy to stay in the Premier League for family reasons. And he has snubbed approaches from abroad, where Fiorentina are keen on him.
The Italians would also offer Calvert-Lewin a huge deal to land him in the summer, with a pre- contract ready and waiting to be signed now. But Newcastle are firm favourites and will wait, which also suits their budget plans. Toon boss Eddie Howe may only make one serious move for a player next month and would need to sell one to bring in any more.

The Premier League could be one of the hardest hit top-flights in Europe. The Toffees and the Magpies both have eight stars posted for the pre-contract countdown. For the Toon that's Sean Longstaff, Callum Wilson, Fabian Schar, Jamaal Lascelles, Martin Dubravka, Emil Krafth, Mark Gillespie and John Ruddy.
