Newcastle United are reportedly eyeing a summer move for Juventus star Matías Soulé.

The Magpies will be looking to make a comeback in the Premier League after a disappointing seventh-placed finish last season.

They want to add a top-class forward and have set their sights on Soulé, according to Tuttosport.

But Newcastle face competition for the Argentine with Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and Brighton & Hove Albion also keen on him.

The talented winger has a contract with Juventus until 2026 and they are demanding a hefty €40 million for a transfer (per Calciomercato).

Soulé joined the Italian giants in 2020 from Velez Sarsfield and made his senior debut against Salernitana in November 2021.

He went on to make 18 appearances for the Old Lady in 2022-23 in what was his breakthrough season at the club.

Despite his promising start, the 21-year-old was sent out on a season-long loan to Frosinone last term to help him gain regular minutes.

The Argentine enjoyed an impressive 2023-24 campaign at the Canaries, starting 36 Serie A games and scoring 11 goals.

Frosinone ultimately suffered relegation to Serie B despite his excellent efforts to maintain their top-flight status.

Soulé has now returned to Juventus but the Old Lady could cash in on him to help fund their transfer targets this summer.
