Watford are seemingly speaking to the Newcastle United target.
According to the print edition of Gazzetta dello Sport, Watford are in talks with Udinese to sign goalkeeper and reported Newcastle United target Orestis Karnezis.
It was reported by Tuttomercatoweb last month that Newcastle had made an offer for the Greece international.
Tuttoudinese reported in May that the 32-year-old is valued at around £8.5 million.
But it would appear as if the Magpies might miss out on another target this summer as Gazzetta dello Sport claims that Watford and Inter Milan are in talks to get him.
It would be a big disappointment for Rafael Benitez if he winds up anywhere else except St James’s Park.
The Spanish manager has already seen at least two moves for other players slip through his fingers this summer, with Ruben Semedo and Tammy Abraham both failing to join Newcastle despite speculation indicating that they were headed to the North East.
Benitez will need another keeper this month as Karl Darlow and Tim Krul look set to leave.
