The Magpies are looking to secure at least one defender this month with Carlos high on their list of targets with their pursuit of Lille defender Sven Botman so far proving fruitless.
Newcastle have already had a £25million offer for Carlos knocked back by the La Liga side but have now gone back in with a second bid, according to The Telegraph. The second bid is understood to be in the region of £28million.
