Newcastle United on weekend scouting mission – Initiate contact to sign ‘little gem’

On Monday, we covered claims from Italy that Newcastle United and Crystal Palace are in the picture to sign Juventus’ Matias Soulé.

TV Play back it up and provide additional information about Newcastle and Crystal Palace.

Last summer, Juve allowed the winger to join Frosinone on loan and he’s excelled there, managing 10 goals and two assists from 21 Serie A games this season.

The ‘little gem’ has ‘exploded thunderously’ and it’s drawn the attention of several clubs across Europe.

Last weekend, the 20-year-old scored a goal and registered an assist in Frosinone’s 2-3 defeat against AC Milan at home. It’s said scouts from both Newcastle and Crystal Palace were spotted at Benito Stirpe to watch the player live in action against the Rossoneri.

The Argentina U20 international’s contract with the Turin club lasts until 2026, but it’s not given that he’ll be at Juve next season.

In other words, Soulé’s farewell is possible in the summer and a fee of €40m is needed to start negotiations with Juventus.

Tutto Juve also explain that Soulé could leave in the summer. They further add Newcastle and Crystal Palace are among the clubs to have knocked on the Old Lady’s door for him.
