The 23-year-old is expected to depart Anfield this summer, although Liverpool are keen to sell, rather than loan the Englishman to another Premier League club.
However, Carroll is only prepared to move on a temporary basis, according to Sky Sports News, and favours the Magpies over West Ham United and Fulham.
Carroll departed Newcastle for £35m 18 months ago.
