Newcastle United are one of a number of Premier League clubs keen to land Manchester City and England 'keeper Joe Hart on loan.
However at this stage, City are refusing to consider any offers of a loan deal and will only enter into negotiations for a permanent transfer.
Several clubs, including West Ham, are understood to be waiting in the wings should City change their stance and allow Hart - who spent last season with Torino - go out on loan once more.
Even then, City may need to contribute some of Hart's wages to make a deal feasible.
Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez has been trying to bring in cover for Karl Darlow and Rob Elliot having tried to land Pepe Reina from Napoli and Willy Caballero, who joined Chelsea over the weekend.
