Miguel Almiron looks set for a £16million exit from Newcastle - and back to the MLS
The Paraguayan winger, 30, saw a move to Charlotte FC collapse in the summer as they refused to meet Toon’s asking price.
Charlotte assistant manager Christian Fuchs revealed: "There are always a lot of names being associated with Charlotte FC.
"And all I know is that, once it is signed, Almiron will be a great addition to our club and I would really look forward to him joining us and playing for us."
Ruben Amorim has reportedly demanded Manchester United buy Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres in January.
The Portuguese boss has suffered a dismal start to his tenure at the Theatre of Dreams.
Gyokores has been prolific for Sporting since signing from Coventry in the summer of 2023.
According to The Daily Star, Amorim is so worried by United's lack of firepower that he wants to spend big this month rather than wait until the summer.
The Swede, 26, has hit a staggering 26 goals in 24 matches this season.
He is contracted in Lisbon until 2028, with a release clause of around £80million.
