  Sam Allardyce is in talks with Barcelona over a £3million bid to sign Brazil full back Juliano Belletti.
  
  Belletti, who scored the winning goal in the Champions League Final against Arsenal in 2006, has been told he can leave the Spanish club.
  
  Although the Newcastle boss has yet to be given permission to speak with the versatile 31-year-old, Allardyce is confident their offer will be accepted.
