Newcastle are reportedly eyeing a summer move for Braga forward Ricardo Horta.
Horta has been a standout performer for the Liga NOS outfit this season, scoring 16 goals and assisting seven in 35 appearances.
According to Record, Newcastle were willing to bid €12m for the 25-year-old in January but saw their efforts quickly shut down.
Horta has a €30m release clause in his current contract and Braga are unwilling to sell for anything less than that.
The Magpies are searching for attacking reinforcements with Joelinton, Miguel Almíron and Andy Carroll all struggling to score consistently.
Napoli and Ajax have also expressed an interest.
