Coach Joaquin Caparros believes that Deportivo La Coruna should sell striker Albert Luque to Newcastle United if the price is right.
Negotiations appeared to have reached a dead end on Friday with the two clubs failing to agree a transfer fee for the 27-year-old Spain international left winger. Newcastle are thought to have offered £7.5million, but Depor are holding out for £10.2million.
"I am counting on having Luque, but I would understand his sale should a good offer arrive," Caparros said in El Mundo Deportivo. "That is even more the case when you consider we are in a delicate economic state."
Caparros replaced Javier Irureta as Depor coach in the summer, but lack of funds have hampered his attempts at bringing in new players and although Luque is in his plans, he is pragmatic enough to see his sale would solve several problems.
"My way of thinking is that should an important offer come in, then we should sell because that allows you to bring in other players and to grow," added Caparros.
"At the moment, I have heard nothing new from what I knew last week, but if we sold him, we would have to adapt."
