Newcastle United in the running for Marco Palestra as Atalanta eye auction

ย 

Serie A side Atalanta are faced with the possibility of losing Marco Palestra in the summer, with Inter one of the clubs keen. The Bergamo club are now trying to incite an auction, with Newcastle United also in the picture for his signing.

Tuttomercatoweb report that Juventus have inserted themselves into the scenario and have asked for information about the 21-year-old. They havenโ€™t quite made an offer, with the Nerazzurri expected to make another move to meet Atalantaโ€™s demands of around โ‚ฌ50 million.

At the same time, Newcastle United have also joined the race and they have kept an eye on the wing-back constantly in the last few weeks. Inter will try to get ahead of the Magpies but their approach canโ€™t be ruled out.

Atalanta attempting auction

Clearly, La Dea are desperate to earn as much as can for their player. That is why English clubs are increasingly mentioned as that will raise Palestraโ€™s value and cause problems for Inter.

It will take just one mega offer from Newcastle United to tempt Atalanta into a sale too. Theyโ€™re more financially capable than a host of clubs in Italy, which is exactly what Atalanta are taking advantage of.
