Newcastle have been installed as part favourites to sign many superstars given that they have a reported £190m transfer kitty for the January transfer window.
Jesse Lingard, Anthony Martial, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and even Erling Haaland have been linked with a move to Tyneside under the new Saudi owners.
Yet it appears those same owners are now set to invest money into another club too.
Some reports had claimed that the owners' apparent bid for Inter following the Magpies takeover was a non-starter after rumours of a £850m move surfaced.
But according to Il Giorno, the Saudi consortium are in talks over a possible sale, with the Saudis 'more and more insistent' they want to own the Serie A club.

It is said that Mohammed bin Salman - the leader of the new bid - 'would bet straight' on Inter after the investment.
Current Inter owner Zhang Jindong has consistently asked for £850m to sell the Italian champions, and talks were reportedly underway over a sale before the Super League fiasco in April.
While reports were shut down, it appears their need to find money has supposedly forced the current owners to go back on their word and re-open negotiations.
Inter won the league last season under the guidance of Antonio Conte.
