With both Matt Targett and Dan Burn injured, Newcastle United are currently being forced to play Tino Livramento as a left-back, out of position.
That’s why there have been some murmurs that Eddie Howe could go after someone who plays that role in January, and Tutto Juve report one of the players targeted is Andrea Cambiaso.
Newcastle aren’t the only ones after the 23-year-old, as Aston Villa and Fulham are also interested, as the website reveal all three are ‘willing to spend’ €15m to get him.
The problem for the Villans, the Magpies and the Craven Cottage side is that Juventus aren’t that keen on letting him go, regardless of how much money is put on the table.
While some of their players could be sold, neither Federico Gatti nor Cambiaso are on that list, ‘even in the face of important offers’.
The reason for this is they feel the pair are the ‘concrete representation’ of what the clubs stands for in ‘team spirit and soul’, having reached their current status ‘from the bottom and without anyone’s help’.
This means that Aston Villa, Fulham and Newcastle will need to look somewhere else to bolster their left-back position going forward.
Unai Emery’s side have been after a new left-back since the summer, initially targeting Marcos Acuña from Sevilla, to no avail, as they were looking to get rid of Lucas Diane.
Aston Villa failed in their endeavours, and appears to have now moved onto Cambiaso instead.
As for Fulham, it’s fair to say the loan of Fodé Ballo-Touré has been an abject failure, as Antonee Robinson has played in all but one game in the Premier League this season, with Timothy Castagne stepping into his position during the missed fixture, a 1-0 win over Luton Town.
