Well-known Italian football journalist Gianluca Di Marzio has claimed on Twitter that Sassuolo left-back Rogerio will join Newcastle United in the summer transfer window.
Di Marzio, who works for Sky Sports, has claimed that Newcastle will pay Italian club Sassuolo €14 million (£12.51 million) in transfer fees for the 22-year-old left-back.
The journalist has reported on his website that negotiations between Newcastle and Sassuolo are nearly complete, and that the two clubs are finalising the last details at the moment.
