Newcastle transfer news: Federico Fernandez is set to leave Swansea
The 29-year-old made 30 league appearances last term but couldn’t prevent Swansea’s slide into the Championship.
Newcastle were said to be chasing Fernandez over the last few weeks but a fee couldn’t be agreed.
However, the Sun now reports that the two clubs have settled on a £6m deal.
Sky Sports add that the player is set to undergo a medial in the next few hours.
Swansea assistant manager Billy Reid said in a press conference earlier today: "Fede has been here through pre-season and was excellent on Saturday.
“But he is a player who sees his future elsewhere, it is not settled yet but it looks like he will go to Newcastle."
