Newcastle are believed to still be active in the transfer window, with Rafa Benitez keen to add further quality to his options before the window slams shut on Thursday.
It was reported earlier on this week that Newcastle were ramping up their pursuit of Maia ahead of the deadline, with it being claimed that the Magpies had entered advanced negotiations with Lille over a deal for the defensive midfielder.
Newcastle also look set to land Salomon Rondon from West Brom on a season-long loan deal as they begin what promises to be an eventful week for Premier League clubs.
