It is understood Rafa Benítez is on the lookout for an attacking full-back and Barreca could be the man.
Eager to get forward, Barreca has two assists in nine appearances for the Ligue 1 side this season.
After a torrid campaign – Monaco are currently 19th and three points from safety – the former Torino man could be tempted by a move to the Premier League.
However, Barreca would be swapping one relegation battle for another as it stands, with Newcastle just two points above the drop zone.
