The teenager scored Only two goals For the club last season and is currently on loan at Real Betis, where he has scored six goals in 24 appearances for the club, which could help in Barcelona's exit.
Alexander Isak has had a fantastic season so far, but if he suffers an injury, Howe only has Callum Wilson as an alternative, suggesting a move for another striker is a potential priority this month.
Barcelona are now ready to sell Roque, with Newcastle one of the teams that have shown keen interest in doing the deal.
A lot will depend on the transfer fee, but if it is within Howe's budget, he should consider making a bid for the Brazilian.
