So far, only out-of-contract Michael Owen, Mark Viduka, Claudio Cacapa and David Edgar are due to leave at the start of next month, but Ashley wants a car boot sale to sell ANYONE who will generate cash.
Ashley is desperate for some progress, and First Artists will be instructed to focus their attention on the possible sale of some of Newcastle’s foreign players to overseas clubs.
Turkish duo Fenerbahce and Besiktas have expressed an interest in Obafemi Martins, while Atletico Madrid are interested in signing Argentinian centre-half Fabricio Coloccini.
Both Jonas Gutierrez and Jose Enrique are also expected to return to La Liga this summer.
