Newcastle United interested in Atalantaโ€™s Luis Muriel

Atalanta striker Luis Muriel is attracting attention from Premier League side Newcastle United this summer.

Muriel has drawn links with a move to Juventus as well, with the Bianconeri still looking to sign a potential back-up striker this summer as their move for Alvaro Morata has failed.

Giovanni Albanese has reported that with Juve moving for Memphis Depay is a concrete possibility and while that is because of a favourable situation involving Barcelona, their moves for other players seem tough. Morata is going farther away from the club and Anthony Martial is close to staying in Erik ten Hagโ€™s project at Manchester United and the Frenchman was of interest to Juve.

Muriel is attracting concrete attention from Newcastle and that is threatening the Bianconeriโ€™s interest in the Colombian as well. His La Dea teammate Duvan Zapata had attracted interest from the Magpies in January and in the summer but that move couldnโ€™t materialise for multiple different reasons.
