Aleksandar Mitrovic is set to complete a permanent move to Fulham when he returns from his holiday.
The Telegraph reports that the Premier League new boys believe they have a deal agreed in principle for the player, who will become their club-record signing.
The Serbian has been heavily linked with a move back to Craven Cottage after playing a key role in their promotion from the second tier.
The report claims that the finer details of the deal still need to be completed with regards to payment, but there is a growing expectancy that Mitrovic will return to Fulham.
Rafa Benitez knows he needs to sell this summer in order to raise further funds for his own transfer business.
The Spaniard is hoping to replace Mitrovic with a striker who can provide a regular source of goals, something that the Magpies lacked throughout their first season back in the top flight.
