Newcastle United considering £20 million Juve star for right-wing reinforcement

Newcastle United have started their 2024/25 campaign with a win as they edged past Southampton FC in a 1-0 fixture. Even though Eddie Howe's side completed the fixture with all 3 points, it was clearly visible they didn't have a dominating night.

In particular, the need for signings for the center-back role and reinforcements in the right wing was much felt for the Magpies lineup. Even though Newcastle United has been eyeing Guehi and certain alternatives for the center-back position, the need for a high-profile signing is much felt, considering Almiron's uncertain future at the club.

Regarding the same, reports have emerged suggesting that the Magpies club has shown interest in the Juventus star winger Federico Chiesa. Being a sensational winger by trait, backed by a brilliant run in the later half of the last season, and having significant years left in his European career, the Italian winger has the ideal profile of being the sensational transfer of this summer window.

Various clubs, including European heavyweights FC Barcelona, Tottenham Hotspur, and now Newcastle United, have been linked with the 26-year-old as his possible destination. Moreover, being available for a cost-effective price of around £20M, Chiesa is the winger every club wants to have on their roster.

From Newcastle's perspective, not only could a potential deal with Federico Chiesa end the right-wing woes at the club, but given the Italian's versatility, he could be equally effective on the left wing in case of injuries or suspensions. Moreover, being the global athlete he is, Chiesa could be the key for Newcastle's sporting and financial matters.

Thus, even though Chiesa's Newcastle move is in the preliminary stages, the Magpies would surely consider the winger for their right-wing reinforcement.
