As the January transfer window approaches, Newcastle United appears poised to make significant moves in the market, especially with Sandro Tonali facing a 10-month ban from the game. Despite currently holding a respectable sixth place in the Premier League, Eddie Howe’s team is nine points behind league leaders Tottenham. While securing a maiden Premier League title this season seems challenging, it’s not impossible. In any case, strengthening the squad is crucial to provide the depth necessary for consistent competition in top-tier competitions.
One player who has recently been linked to Newcastle, as reported by Fichajes and other sources, is Federico Dimarco, a highly-regarded wing-back from Inter Milan. The 25-year-old could provide balance to Newcastle’s lineup, particularly with his strong performance on the left side.
Kieran Trippier has been exceptional for Newcastle on the right, contributing significantly to the team’s recent success. However, there has been a noticeable gap on the opposite flank, which could be a concern for Eddie Howe and his coaching staff.
Unfortunately for Newcastle, it appears that they may need to explore other options to fill this specific role. According to Fabrizio Romano, a columnist for CaughtOffside, negotiations between Inter and Federico Dimarco regarding a new contract are progressing despite links to other top clubs. These discussions are reportedly reaching the final stages, with a potential agreement expected to be finalized by the end of the year. This development suggests that Dimarco’s move to Newcastle might not be on the horizon.
