Newcastle United will reportedly have to pay in excess of £35m if they wish to sign Leeds United attacker Jack Harrison during this summer's transfer window.
The 25-year-old was an important player for the Whites during the 2021-22 campaign, making 38 appearances in all competitions, contributing 10 goals and two assists in the process.
Harrison only joined Leeds on a permanent basis from Manchester City last July, but Newcastle are said to be keen to bring him to St James' Park in the current market.
According to the Daily Mail, the Whites want in excess of £35m for the attacker, which could ultimately deny him the chance to make the move to Eddie Howe's side.

Elsewhere, Monza are believed to be in talks with Mauro Icardi's agent over a move for the Paris Saint-Germain striker during this summer's transfer window.
Monza are preparing for life back in Serie A and are seemingly determined to sign a high-profile forward this summer, with Edinson Cavani recently linked with a switch to the club.
According to RMC Sport, Icardi's representatives have been in touch with the Italian side to discuss a possible move to the club in the coming weeks.
The Argentina international, who still has another two years left to run on his contract in the French capital, scored five goals in 30 appearances for PSG during the 2021-22 campaign.

Meanwhile, according to The Sun, MK Dons are nearing a deal for Crystal Palace midfielder Jesurun Rak-Sakyi despite interest from Oxford United.
The 19-year-old was in strong form for Palace Under-23s in Premier League 2 last season, scoring 18 goals and registering five assists in 25 appearances.
The youngster also played twice for the Eagles in the Premier League last term, and he has travelled on the club's pre-season tour.
However, the midfielder is expected to leave Selhurst Park in the current market, and MK Dons are said to be closing in on his signature despite facing competition from Oxford United.

Palace, meanwhile, are also believed to be willing to sell Christian Benteke during the current transfer window.
The 31-year-old only has another 12 months left to run on his contract at Selhurst Park, and he is not believed to be in the plans of Eagles boss Patrick Vieira moving forward.
According to The Sun, Palace are prepared to let the Belgian leave this summer if a suitable offer arrives.
The report claims that Vieira's side need to raise funds in order to improve their squad, and Benteke could leave on a free transfer next year if he does not depart in the current window.
Benteke has scored 37 goals and registered 12 assists in 177 appearances for Palace since making the move to the London club from Liverpool in 2016.
