The club recently signed Sandro Tonali from AC Milan for £55 million.
Howe's attention has now shifted to Napoli's star Kvaratskhelia.
Newcastle have submitted an opening bid of £82m for Kvaratskhelia and are willing to pay up to £85m.
The 22-year-old had an incredible first season at Napoli and played an important role in his team's historic Serie A title win.
