Newcastle United could turn to Manchester City’s soon to be out of contract goalie Willy Cabellero.

A report in the Sunday Mirror suggests that the experienced keeper is on Newcastle’s radar.

The Magpies are looking to bring in an experienced stopper this summer and could even part company with Karl Darlow and Tim Krul in the next few weeks.

United did have an interest in ex-Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina but a deal could not be struck and he has vowed to stick with Napoli for the last year of his contract with the Serie A side.

Cabellero is looking for a new club this summer and Rafa Benitez is a fan of the ex-Malaga star.

The Argentinian will definitely leave the Etihad Stadium this summer and recently said: “It’s been a privilege to play for Manchester City.

“From the first day I arrived, everyone at the Club has made me feel welcome and I will always be grateful to them.

“To win the League Cup in such dramatic circumstances was special and it’s a day I will never forget.”

The 35-year-old made 48 appearances for Man City but is now seeking a new challenge.

Were Newcastle to sign Cabellero, Benitez would ask Rob Elliot to challenge him for the number 1 spot and have Fred Woodman as third choice.

United may then cash in on Darlow and Krul with the Dutchman entering the final year of his Toon contract.

And despite the fact that Darlow had a steady season last term he is not guaranteed first choice status.
