The 30-year-old could move for as little as £1million and that would represent a massive loss for The Magpies on the £6million investment they made in Marcelino three years ago.

But their desperation to rid the injury-plagued Spaniard off their wage bill is such that they are willing to listen to virtually any offer for him.

Marcelino has made just 19 first-team appearances since arriving from Real Mallorca and did not feature at all in Bobby Robson's side last season.

He is sure to fancy a move to Seville to join Betis, who can offer UEFA Cup football next season.
