Report: Newcastle learn asking price for 27-year-old midfield target from elite European club
Briefly

"Locatelli would be a superb acquisition. He will add depth and quality to the side. Newcastle have secured Champions League qualification, and they need a deeper squad with more quality in order to do well across multiple competitions. The reported asking price seems reasonable for a player of his quality. He could justify the investment in future. The opportunity to move to England could be exciting for the player as well."
"Meanwhile, Juventus are interested in signing Tonali from Newcastle. They would be prepared to offer Locatelli in a deal in order to bring down the asking price for the Newcastle star. It will be interesting to see if the Premier League club is open to such a move. Tonali has been exceptional for Newcastle since joining the club, and letting him leave the club would be a mistake. They need to keep players like him if they are serious about fighting for major trophies."
Newcastle United have shown interest in signing Italy international Manuel Locatelli from Juventus, with the Italian club reportedly willing to sell for €30–35 million. Locatelli would add depth and quality to Newcastle’s midfield as the team prepares for Champions League competition under Eddie Howe, who already has Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali. Juventus are reportedly interested in signing Tonali and could offer Locatelli in a swap to reduce the asking price. Newcastle face a decision over whether to pursue Locatelli and whether to risk losing Tonali, who has been exceptional for the club.
