The transfer clouds are rising again, and Serie A giant Juventus is plotting a major attraction. According to renowned transfer expert Di Marzio, the Zebras are targeting Lloyd Kelly, a stalwart of English Premier League rivals Newcastle United, with the intention of upgrading the team's defense.
The rising star defender, born in 1998, has gradually emerged on the Newcastle United scene, and his excellent defensive skills and solid athleticism have made him a target of competition from Europe's major giants, Juventus being one of them.
It has been reported that Juventus have quietly made contact with Newcastle United to discuss a move for Lloyd Kelly. However, Newcastle United's bid for the youngster is as high as €30 million, which poses a significant test to Juventus' transfer budget. Nonetheless, Juventus are not discouraged and are going all out to start intense negotiations with Newcastle United.
It is worth noting that apart from Juventus, there are other clubs who have shown great interest in Lloyd Kelly. This gives Newcastle United more say in the transfer negotiations. However, Lloyd Kelly's personal wishes will also be a key factor in determining the direction of the transfer. If he has his heart set on Juventus, then the chances of the deal going through will be greatly increased.
The negotiations between Juventus and Newcastle United are currently at a stalemate, with both sides trying to find a mutually acceptable solution. For Juventus, a successful move for Lloyd Kelly would undoubtedly inject new energy and defensive strength into the team. For Newcastle United, they must be thoughtful and ensure that every decision is in the long-term interest of the team.
