Newcastle United and Aston Villa could make offers for Lazio midfielder Mateo Guendouzi, according to the Italian, with there even being a suggestion his €50m may be reached.
Sunderland were recently linked to the Frenchman before they reached an agreement with RC Strasbourg to sign Habib Diarra.
The Italian media have reported on numerous occasions that Premier League sides are monitoring the former Arsenal player, despite the whole thing feeling exaggerated.
Corierre della Sera report on a potential bidding war between Newcastle United and Aston Villa, who are both looking to bring in reinforcements in midfield.
Lazio manager Maurizio Sarri is keen on keeping the midfielder for next season, although the Serie A side are in a situation where key players may have to leave the club to bring in funds.
Newcastle United and Aston Villa are described as being ‘ready to bet’ on his signing, and it’s explained it would be Guendouzi’s decision if that €50m level is triggered.
Still, despite all the big claims, it feels unlikely either – or any for that matter – Premier League club would be paying that.
