In July 2018, Inter Milan signed Eddie Salcedo on a season-long loan deal from Genoa and the former have the option to make the 17-year-old’s temporary stay permanent this summer.
The forward has been one of the standout performers for the Nerazzurri U19 side in the Primavera, and is now attracting interest from France and England.
According to FcInterNews, the teenager’s agent Giuseppe Riso received a call from AS Monaco a month ago and from Newcastle United on Friday.
The report fails to provide more details about the Magpies’ interest in the player and does not specify if Newcastle are planning to secure his services in the summer transfer window.
Salcedo has regularly been deployed on the left wing or as a centre forward by Inter U19 manager Armando Madonna and in return he’s scored 12 goals and registered three assists.
Inter will exercise the option of making the youngster’s loan deal permanent for €8m in June.
He’s trained with the first team and with Antonio Conte expected to replace Luciano Spalletti at the San Siro, the former Chelsea boss will take a call on the player’s future.
If Inter are planning to send their attacker out on loan to continue his development, Newcastle could see if they can bring him to England.
