Naibi and Guner have already started initial talks with his agent.
The 22-year-old has also been closely linked with a move to Fenerbahce but the Chronicle report that no bid have been made.
Per the source, Newcastle have not actually received any offers for the Serbian international.
The report does claim that the Magpies could be open to a loan move.
Besiktas have made signing an additional striker a priority as they face an uncertain future over whether Vincent Aboubakar will stay on at the club next season.
