According to Turkish outlet Fanatik, the Istanbul outfit, currently without a manager after the sacking of Ersun Yanal, could look to snap up the former Liverpool, Sunderland and Atletico Madrid right-back at the end of the current Premier League season.

Manquillo is one of three right-backs in the Magpies’ squad and has previously been linked with a move to West Ham United.
