Newcastle United are looking to bolster their backline this summer and have started targeting Juventus centre back Federico Gatti, reports detail.
The Magpies struggled to maintain balance between the Premier League and the Champions League last term, finishing a tough seventh in the league table, missing out on the European competition under Eddie Howe.
In recent weeks, reports emerged detailing Newcastle’s interest in Milan defender Fikayo Tomori, who has been a central part of the Rossoneri squad over the last few years. Now, they’ve set their sights on Serie A once again.
