Valentino Lazaro could still turn down a move to Newcastle United, even if they activate the €22m option to buy from Inter, claim Italian reports.
He made the loan switch in January and his future remains very much up in the air.
According to Tuttomercatoweb, Newcastle have not decided whether to take up the €22m option to buy him on a permanent basis.
There is another problem, as the same source suggests Lazaro is unconvinced too and could well turn down the deal, even if the Magpies want him to stay.

Lazaro only left Inter because he was given very little playing time in six months after his €22.4m move from Hertha Berlin.
The Austria international made six Serie A appearances, four in the Champions League and one in the Coppa Italia, mostly as a substitute.
As for Newcastle, Lazaro managed four Premier League outings and one in the FA Cup before the lockdown in March.
