Newcastle will look for a permanent deal for Danny Ings if they fail with a loan move, report the Express.
Ings' Liverpool career has been devastated by injuries and it appears Jurgen klopp may be willing to let him go in January.
Newcastle will look for a temporary deal this winter as they fear the former Burnley man needs to prove his fitness.
But, if that fails, they could table an offer to sign him permanently.
Here is the rest of the Liverpool news and gossip from Wednesday's papers...
Mane to miss six weeks
Liverpool's season has been thrown into turmoil with news that Sadio Mane could miss the next 10 games.
The winger suffered a cruel injury blow in his country Senegal's World Cup qualifier against Cape Verde at the weekend, picking up a small hamstring tear that will rule him out for the next six weeks.
And that means the Reds will have to face Manchester United on Saturday without their most influential attacking threat — and also pivotal games against top-four rivals Spurs and Chelsea.
Even worse is the prospect of now having to qualify for the group stages of the Champions League without their talisman, who finished as the club’s top scorer in the Premier League last season.
5 ways Klopp can replace Mane
It was the last piece of news that Liverpool fans would have wanted to hear over the international break.
With their season already having gotten off to a fairly slow start, a hamstring tear suffered by Sadio Mane on international duty with Senegal has darkened the mood further, with the fast, effective wide man set to be absent for the next six weeks.
Adam Lallana , another key man, is still a few weeks away from full fitness having not yet played this season, and so the blow will have left Jurgen Klopp with much to ponder over the coming weeks.
