MO DIAME is ready to quit Newcastle and is a target for two clubs in Turkey.
The Toon midfielder, 30, is wanted by Goztepe and Sivasspor.
The star is after a move following his lack of match action this season.
Fans also turned on him after his performance against Everton last week to add to his frustration in the North East.
Both Turkish clubs are looking at a £2.5million deal to be part of their bid for European qualification.
Fenerbahce are also in the market for a central midfielder but are still looking at their options for January.
Toon boss Rafa Benitez is expected to listen to offers for the ex-West Ham star as he has put him on the bench for most of the season.
With one full season on his contract at St James’ Park, Newcastle have the option to cash in now or risk losing Diame for free in 2019.

Diame was a regular last campaign in the Championship after moving from Hull two seasons ago.
But this season Benitez has put faith in Mikel Merino and Isaac Hayden.
The Senegal international was also involved in a training-ground bust-up with Jamaal Lascelles earlier in the season.

Benitez admitted there was "a fight, everyone knows there was a fight".
Diame was named on the bench and only came on for the final eight minutes of the 1-0 defeat at Arsenal on Saturday.
That result saw the Magpies drop into the relegation zone.
