Souness tried to sign Vieri/Smith
Newcastle boss Graeme Souness fears he may miss out in a bold double raid for Inter Milan striker Christian Vieri and Manchester United's Alan Smith.
The 31-year-old Vieri has been released by Inter and is looking for a club.
Souness said: "We did inquire about Christian Vieri. I got a mutual friend to have a word with the player, but it appears he wants to go to Spain."
The manager told the club's website: "We also made an inquiry for Alan Smith but were told there is nothing doing."
Souness is looking for a strike partner for Alan Shearer after Patrick Kluivert was released and Craig Bellamy had a well-publicised bust-up with the manager.
The Scot has vowed never to play Bellamy again, and is hoping to offload him before Newcastle return for pre-season training on Monday.
If he fails to land a new marksman, Souness faces the prospect of starting the new season with only two strikers - skipper Shearer and youngster Michael Chopra.
Shola Ameobi is still at the club but will miss the start to the campaign with a hip injury.
