It appears to be like like Newcastle United will financial institution much more than we initially anticipated for Lloyd Kelly.
Final evening, Fabrizio Romano reported {that a} verbal settlement was reached over a loan-to-buy deal that may see Juventus pay £15m for the defender this summer time.
Nevertheless, some breaking information on Sunday afternoon from two north east reporters suggests we’ve now agreed a good higher deal for the 26-year-old.
In line with Craig Hope at The Mail, The Telegraph’s Luke Edwards and Sky Sports activities’ Keith Downie, Juventus will now pay £20m for Lloyd Kelly.
They report that, together with a mortgage settlement that can ship him to Italy for the second half of the season, there’s a £20m obligation to make the switch everlasting in the summertime.
Kelly has now been given permission to journey to Turin, the place he’ll now bear a medical forward of a transfer to the Serie A giants.
David Ornstein of The Athletic has additionally confirmed the deal goes forward, regardless of doubts earlier immediately that there wasn’t a complete settlement between the 2 golf equipment.
To signal Kelly on a free and instantly make £20m within the following switch window is sensible from a PSR perspective, particularly as he’ll be on fairly huge wages.
I’m not towards the transfer from that perspective, however it’s a slight concern that we may very well be left brief on the again, with an injury-prone Matt Targett left as our solely pure back-up choice to Lewis Corridor.
Hopefully Kelly settles in Italy and will get the sport time he was missing on Tyneside. All the very best, Lloyd!
