On Monday, Gianluca Di Marzio reported about Newcastle United’s interest in Torino star Perr Schuurs.
A day later, Tuttosport explained Eddie Howe’s side intend to take concrete steps to sign the defender. It was also stated they plan to table an offer after this season.
Newcastle wanting the centre-back continues to be discussed in Italy, this time by La Stampa, relayed by Toro News.
Newcastle and others showing interest in Schuurs has started to worry the Turin club, who could risk saying goodbye to him in the next window.
The Dutchman is ready to leave the club if his employer were to receive a dizzying offer in excess of €40m.
Faced with this possibility, the Italian club are ‘moving in advance’ and have identified Fatih Karagümrük’s Rayyan Baniya as the candidates to replace the Magpies target.
Torino have been following Baniya for a while and their chief, Davide Vagnati, has made a trip to Turkey to watch him live in action for Fatih Karagümrük.
This could be viewed as an encouragement for Newcastle in their desire to sign Schuurs, who will know that Torino are bracing themselves to lose their star man in the coming months.
