If you’re keeping a close eye on things ahead of the transfer window, you’ll probably be aware of reports over the past couple of weeks regarding Newcastle United interest in Juventus players.
On Several occasions we’ve explained that the Turin club are looking to sell some of their most promising young talents in order to bring in money for much older players and to finance the contracts of those.
Juventus and others in Italy have a different way of doing things and youth prospects aren’t quite as highly valued as they are at some Premier League clubs.
This all gives the opportunity for English sides such as Newcastle United to take advantage of the situation and move for exciting talents.
Friday’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport now says Eddie Howe’s side are ‘pressing’ to sign Dean Huijsen, with the Juve-owned central defender currently on loan at AS Roma.
Borussia Dortmund are also keen on the 19-year-old Spain U21 international, so that’s something for the Magpies to consider. Gazzetta put a potential deal at €30m.
Matias Soulé is also mentioned, and he’s been on loan at Frosinone. The 21-year-old Argentina youth international is on the market, with Gazzetta mentioning interest from England.
Newcastle United fans will likely be aware that they’ve been linked with the attacking midfielder previously, and he’s another one to keep an eye on this summer.
