Newcastle United are ‘considering a new attempt’ to sign Atalanta’s Duván Zapata this summer.
That’s according to TuttoMercatoWeb, who give an insight into the Magpies’ failed efforts in securing the 31-year-old’s services in the January window.
Eddie Howe’s side then offered to take the striker on a loan deal for €5m, with an obligation to buy set at €30m, if the Tyneside club stayed in the Premier League.
Despite the failure in the winter market, Newcastle have an ‘idea of trying a new attempt’ to land the Colombia international, but this time, they plan to buy him outright.
Meanwhile, Il Giorno have a report and their title states Newcastle are ‘interested in Zapata’.
Within the report, they relay claims made in England about the Magpies planning to offer €20m for the player.
Il Giorno state Howe’s side have not presented a real offer to Atalanta, who have no plans to sell the South American.
The latter’s stance could be changed if they were to receive a ‘fair offer’ for the Colombian.
