Newcastle United and Tottenham given major boost in midfielder hunt as AC Milan ‘pull out’ of transfer

Here, we round-up all the latest stories that have emerged surrounding Newcastle United:

AC Milan ‘pull out’ of free agent race

AC MIlan’s pursuit of Daichi Kamada is reportedly over - meaning the Japanese international is still available to sign on a free transfer. Kamada was expected to seal a move to the San Siro, however, following a shake-up at the top of AC Milan, Kamada is no longer an option for them this summer.

That could be good news for clubs like Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur and Borussia Dortmund who were all linked with a move for the former Eintracht Frankfurt man earlier this summer. During his time at the German club, Kamada netted 40 goals and registered 33 assists - a tally that included five goals in their run to the 2022 Europa League final triumph over Rangers.

Newcastle United ‘explore’ deal for Inter Milan defender 

Newcastle United are in the market for a left-back this summer and are reportedly exploring a deal for Inter Milan defender Federico Dimarco. Dimarco, 25, played a crucial role in Inter’s run to last season’s Champions League final but has been linked with a move to England this summer.

According to Football Transfers, Newcastle have made contact with the Serie A side over a potential deal for the Italian international who registered ten assists in the league and Champions League last term.

Barcelona ‘open’ to loan move for winger

Barcelona winger Ferran Torres may be allowed to leave the Camp Nou on loan this summer - according to reports from Sport. They suggest that the Catalonia outfit are willing to let Torres leave on a loan-to-buy deal with Newcastle United among the clubs interested in his signature.

Despite wanting to stay at the club, Barcelona are looking to offload Torres this summer and a move back to the Premier League could be on the cards. Financial Fair Play constraints mean the Magpies may be forced to use the loan market to bolster their squad this summer and Torres could be someone they look to sign during the window - if they make little progress on their interest in signing players like Harvey Barnes and Moussa Diaby.
