Two weeks ago, some big claims emerged from Italy on Newcastle’s reported interest in Nicolas Gonzalez, with Viola News – an outlet covering all things Fiorentina – suggesting we’d launched a bid for the Argentinian winger.
Today, The Athletic have released an update on the Toon transfer front, naming a few of the right-sided forwards the club hold a genuine interest in.
Alongside Chelsea’s Noni Madueke, George Caulking confirms that Gonzalez is someone we’ve watched closely, meaning there could be some truth by those bid claims from Italy last month.
The 26-year-old bagged 16 goals for Fiorentina last month and has been linked with a move to the Premier League for some time, although a few sales may be needed to fund a big-money move for a quality right winger if we commit to a £60-65m deal for Marc Guehi.
The Athletic report that we’re facing some tough decisions on Kieran Trippier, Callum Wilson and Sean Longstaff – three Eddie Howe favourites who are out of contract next summer – while Miguel Almiron is another popular figure who would see his game time suffer if we signed another right winger.
