On July 12th, we carried a report from TuttoMercatoWeb, who stated Newcastle United are trying to make a new attempt to sign Duván Zapata this summer.
The Magpies already looked at the striker in the January window, but were unable to take him away from Atalanta.
Four days ago, Il Giorno journalist Fabrizio Carcano stated Newcastle have come back strongly for the 31-year-old.
It’s claimed Gian Piero Gasperini’s side will ‘wait for moves from England, Newcastle in particular’, to sell the frontman. Atalanta president Antonio Percassi would give the green light for the South American’s sale if his side were to receive an offer of around €25m.
With Atalanta waiting for the Tyneside club to make an approach for Zapata, who has been included in their ‘expendable’ list, it needs to be seen whether Newcastle will make an offer in the region of €25m for the player in the ongoing window.
