Newcastle expect Real Madrid approach over Woodgate


Newcastle United expect to be offered Real Madrid defender Jonathan Woodgate at the end of this season.
The Evening Chronicle says once Real Madrid appoint a new manager Toon chiefs would not be surprised to hear from the Bernabeu Stadium about Woodgate returning to St James' Park on a pay-per-game basis.
Indeed, thanks to their excellent relationship with Real Madrid, United are believed to have first refusal on Woodgate.
