An update has emerged on Newcastle United and their interest in Giovanni Simeone in the summer transfer window… According to the print edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport, via Football Italia, the Magpies are eyeing up a swoop for the Argentine centre-forward.
The report claims that Napoli, Juventus, Valencia and Sevilla are also keen on the striker and will compete with the Toon to land his signature.
It is stated that Hellas Verona are willing to cash in on him if they receive an offer in the region of €20m (£17m) in the coming weeks.
By signing Simeone this summer, Newcastle can land Eddie Howe a big upgrade on former Burnley centre-forward Chris Wood. The Magpies snapped the New Zealand international up from the Clarets in January and he struggled to find his form in the second half of the campaign.
