Newcastle United are preparing to strengthen their defence and have set their sights on a top talent from Italy’s Serie A, according to sources close to the club.

The Magpies are actively scouting potential signings ahead of the next transfer window, with the focus on adding experience and quality to their back line. The unnamed Serie A target is believed to be a key part of their plans, as the club looks to build a squad capable of competing at the highest level both in the Premier League and in Europe.
Talks are still at an early stage, but Newcastle’s interest is genuine, and the player is reportedly admired by the club’s recruitment team for his strong defensive record and leadership on the pitch.
Fans are now waiting to see if the Magpies can get the deal over the line and bring in the kind of defensive reinforcement that could make a big impact next season.
