Newcastle United could be set to sell some players over the coming days and weeks.
While Newcastle fans may not be gearing up to see any new arrivals during the January transfer window, it doesn’t mean business won’t be conducted.
Newcastle are not guaranteed to sign a player in January but could be set to sanction some exits.
Miguel Almiron is set to leave Newcastle and re-join former club Atlanta United, while another could soon follow.
Indeed, one of Newcastle’s summer signings has increasingly been linked with a somewhat surprising move away only months after joining.
Lloyd Kelly is a target for Fenerbahce, with Newcastle having rejected an offer for the defender.
Now, it seems that more big clubs could come in for the former Bournemouth man.
Juventus make contact with Newcastle United over Lloyd Kelly signing
According to noted Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Juventus have made contact with Newcastle over a potential move for Kelly.
It is claimed that Newcastle are looking for around £15-16million for the 26-year-old, who has only made 13 appearances for the Magpies across all competitions.
Interestingly, Eddie Howe only recently confirmed Newcastle want to keep Kelly despite his lack of regular game time, describing him as an “important” part of his plans when speaking on Friday.
Newcastle United should cash in on Lloyd Kelly amid fresh transfer interest
Should Juve pay upwards of £16million for a player signed for free only a few months ago, it would be a great bit of business.
Weakening the squad halfway through a season is hardly ideal but his lack of game time would perhaps suggest Howe prefers other options in defence.
Earlier this week, it was claimed Newcastle are looking for around £16million for Kelly, so anything north of that would surely have to be seen as a big bonus.
If they can force Juve’s hand a bit, selling seems wise.
