Newcastle United are looking to raid Lille for centre-back Tiago Djalo and are willing to offer €20 million in exchange.
According to Inter Live, Newcastle United are interested in Tiago Djalo. They are willing to pay €20 million for the Portuguese centre-back. The Magpies are ready to return to Lille for another central defender after the success achieved with Sven Botman.
Newcastle United will look to repeat the trick from last summer and raid Lille for another central defender. The Magpies succeeded with Sven Botman and now want Tiago Djalo from the French club to bolster their defence for next season.
In Botman’s case, Newcastle United were keen on signing him last January but decided against meeting Lille’s huge asking price. Back then, the defender wanted to join Milan. But eventually, the Magpies found an agreement to sign him in the summer window.
The overall scenario with Djalo seems familiar, as Inter Milan went close to signing the defender in January. The only problem was their inability to pay what Lille wanted for the centre-back. The Italian side hope to capture him for a lower price, but the French side will unlikely budge over their demands.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United remain interested in signing Djalo in the summer. They could reportedly pay around €20 million to sign the 22-year-old Portuguese ace. Whether that price point satisfies Lille remains the question.
The Magpies could be confident of finding an agreement for a player entering his final contractual year. Djalo could see a familiar face in Botman, with whom he played at Lille. He could come into this Newcastle side with the best defensive record in the Premier League, having conceded only 15 goals all season.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United are also looking for further defensive reinforcements in the full- department. Arsenal’s Kieran Tierney is a prime target for the Magpies, while they could battle the Gunners for Spanish right-back Ivan Fresneda.
Signing 22-year-old Portuguese ace Djalo could prove another shrewd piece of business. The Premier League side have remained cautious over their approaches. So far, they have yet to pay over the odds for any player who arrived since the high-profile takeover of the club concluded last year.
