Should the Brazil outfit accept the Magpies’ offer, which is said to have been made recently, the teenager would make the switch to the northeast once the January transfer window opens.
Since being promoted to Vasco da Gama’s first team at the start of the year, Santos, who has 12 months left on his deal, has gone on to feature in 27 matches, in all competitions, directly contributing to five goals along the way.
