Manager Alan Pardew has assembled a superb squad which has flourished at the start of the campaign and he is keen to continue the momentum by further strengthening the squad in January.
Marquez, who can operate in central midfield or in the centre of defence, has in impressive form in La Liga and is attracting interest from a trio of Premier League clubs with Everton and Wigan also interested in signing the 25-year-old.
However, it is believed that Newcastle are the club most likely to make an offer and could well offer £4million for the Spaniard in the New Year.
The Catalan club are under pressure to balance their books and Newcastle know that should they make an acceptable offer then it is likely that Espanyol will be forced to sell there experienced midfielder.
Marquez has been a regular for Espanyol in the last two seasons after progressing through the youth set up and has once again looked impressive this season.
