I think they have to be because they're a publicly-traded company

#Calciomercato | @juventusfc , race against time for #Kelly to complete the visa formalities: bureaucratic procedures are underway Fucking hell

Per day

Seems like there'll be competition for him in the summer, with Spurs and Chelsea having also expressed an interest. Also saw something about Liverpool maybe wanting him. He's not worth a bidding war, we're better off finding someone from the continent.

Hope his price hasn't gone up too much based on his performance this season after we were quoted about 20m last summer

They'll be deliberately easily-attainable, like the ones Hall had to meet to for his move to become permanent from Chelsea

The fact that Ornstein is reporting £20m is sweet. Would be a bit skeptical of the figure if it was just Hope and Edwards

Build this man a statue

He probably thought he was the only one the club gave the £20m figure to, without realising they were straight on the blower to Hope as well

Gençlerbirligi General Manager Ali Ekber Düzgün has released a statement to reveal Baran Yıldız is on the verge of signing for Newcastle United. The 18-year-old has been linked with a move to the Magpies in recent days following reports they’d reached an agreement for his arrival. Hurriyet have covered comments Düzgün has made to the Turkish media when discussing the youngster’s situation with Newcastle United. Düzgün said Yıldız is close to a transfer to St James’ Park and if there are no complications he will be signing a contract with the Premier League side. “In the case of Baran’s transfer, the work is down to the official signature. It has not yet been officially concluded. But as long as there are no surprises, our young football player is on his way to England,” said Düzgün. https://sportwitness.co.uk/down-to-the-official-signature-manager-reveals-player-close-to-signing-for-newcastle-united/

Exactly. I remember Mitchell talking about 'clearing the decks' when he came in at Moncao. Moving on Almiron and potentially Kelly and Trippier for reasonable fees would represent a step in that direction for us. It's exactly what we need.

That's about £4.2m plus would get his wages off the books and mean one less sale to worry about come summer. Sell imo

Villa apparently covering Asensio's whole salary of over 200k/w

In the PSR era where £15m pure profit is huge for us, we should be building a statue of the lad for what he's done for the club

I feel like he sometimes ambiguously words it like that cos he doesn't actually know. Let's hope its £15m base cos we probably could have got that from a PL club in the summer.

Think they've got bad injuries in defence, although terrible planning to sell Huijsen then buy Kelly for a similar amount six months later

https://gianlucadimarzio.com/kelly-juventus-newcastle-calciomercato-news-1-febbraio-2025/ Juventus are close to Lloyd Kelly, Newcastle's central defenderNewcastle. Contacts between the two clubs are now underway, but the player is getting closer and closer. The British demand is a loan with a redemption obligation between 15 and 18 million.

Aye, Juve seem to love paying them. Remember seeing a Top 10 highest loan fees ever table and they featured more than anyone else

Hopefully we are also rejecting loan proposals unless they come with a hefty obligation attached

Now they have no choice but to splash that 25m on Lloyd Kelly
