But their sights have been significantly lowered after the £300million Saudi-backed takeover failed to materialise.
The Sun claim manager Steve Bruce and co. will have just £30million available to spend on new recruits.
In addition to working with a tight budget, Newcastle will also place an emphasis on shining British talent in the transfer window.

Sessegnon recently discussed his relationship with Jose Mourinho and revealed his delight to be working alongside the Portuguese tactician.
“As a young player, it's a manager that you want to work with because they know so much about the game and to help you improve you as a player, so it’s a no brainer," Sessegnon said.
“The gaffer wants to push on next year, I can't see why we won't be pushing for the top two or three.
“We've got a very strong squad, if we can keep everyone like the key players, it’s a strong squad. If we can add some bits to it we can go all the way and I know the gaffer is looking to win the title."
