On Wednesday, Brazilian journalist André Hernan brought a short report regarding Newcastle United interest in Atletico Madrid left-back Renan Lodi.
With not many details, it was only claimed the player is in the Magpies’ sights, with the Premier League side looking to build a strong team for the next season.
Now on his Youtube channel, Hernan is back with this subject, this time bringing more information on it.
He claims that Lodi ‘should’ leave Atletico Madrid to join Newcastle. It’s said the ‘negotiation is ongoing and the talks are happening’ for the move.
It’s claimed that the dialogues should advance as the transfer window approaches, and an ‘important source’ told André Hernan that Newcastle are the club who are ‘strong’ to sign the player this summer.
The Magpies’ interest in Lodi was first reported by the Spanish media at the end of last month, and the Italian press then claimed that the Premier League side were ready to offer €25m for his move.
Just like most reports, Hernan’s story also points out the fullback could again be featuring with Bruno Guimarães, who he has a big friendship with, as they used to play together at Athletico Paranaense in Brazil.
