Newcastle United are yet to make a bid for Benfica midfielder Andreas Samaris, who has also been a target for Everton this summer.
The 28-year-old defensive midfielder’s future has been subject to much speculation this summer, with him consistently being linked with a move to England.
Everton manager Ronald Koeman has been interested in taking him to the Premier League, but Benfica have knocked back their €16m offer for the Greek midfielder.
Newcastle have also been keen on signing Samaris this summer and while there has been talk of the club preparing a bid, there has been little movement in the saga.
And according to the Chronicle, the transfer saga is seeing little action at the moment as Newcastle are yet to slap in a bid with Benfica for the midfielder.
