Two days ago, La Lazio Siamo Noi reported that Newcastle United have carried out polls for Thomas Strakosha.
On Tuesday, we covered claims made by Citta Celeste that explained the Magpies have a ‘strong interest’ in the Lazio goalkeeper. His contract with the Serie A side expires in June.
According to Quotidiano.net, the Albania international wants an annual salary of €2m plus €3m as the signing on bonus to extend the contract, but the Biancocelesti are not ready to meet his demands.
This is a possibility rather than certainty and therefore, Strakosha’s ‘future still in the balance’, which could help Newcastle.
The keeper, for his part, ‘does not have all the cards on the table’ to ‘carefully evaluate his future’ since no club has come forward with a concrete proposal.
Watford tried but they are currently struggling in the relegation zone, and this does not appeal Sarri’s man.
Quotidiano.net explain that what’s ‘more interesting’ is the prospect that would link Strakosha to the Tyneside club since a move to Newcastle ‘could also guarantee him a higher salary’.
From Italy, Fiorentina have ‘tested the ground’, while Torino are ‘waiting at the door’ for the custodian.
With Newcastle showing ‘strong interest’ in the Lazio goalkeeper, perhaps a move to England would be what’s best for Strakosha, allowing him to increase his wages in the process.
