Earlier today, we covered claims from Italy that Leeds United are interested in Inter Milan’s Facundo Colidio.
FcInterNews claims the Whites will face competition from Newcastle United in signing the the centre-forward.
Leeds will play in the Championship for the 2019/20 season, a but a move to St James’ Park will see him play in the Premier League. The Magpies can use it to their advantage to ‘attract’ the Argentine to join them.
Colidio still has four more years left on his contract and the Nerazzurri will not rule out the possibility of an outright sale. Antonio Conte’s side values the South American between €8-10m.
Steve Bruce’s side have already signed Joelinton this summer and he joins Dwight Gayle and Yoshinori Muto as the three players who can play up front.
A move to Newcastle will see Colido fight with aforementioned players for a place in the starting XI.
