Newcastle United missed out on Stanley Nsoki last month.
According to L’Equipe, Juventus are now interested in signing Paris Saint-Germain defender Stanley Nsoki after his move to Newcastle United collapsed.
Nsoki, 20, has been coming up through the PSG ranks since signing in 2014, but he has found it difficult to nail down a first-team spot with the Ligue 1 giants.
The defender has managed just 16 first-team appearances for PSG, and he looked set to move on this summer, with Newcastle looking to target him again having been linked in 2018 too.
A £10million bid from Newcastle was accepted according to Get French Football News, but Nsoki wasn’t happy with the wages being offered by the Premier League club.
That resulted in the deal collapsing, with Newcastle signing Jetro Willems as their new left back arrival instead, but Nsoki could still be on the move.
It’s now claimed that Juventus want to land Nsoki, and whilst Nice are still in pole position, the Italian giants are seemingly making their move.
Juve have just loaned left back Luca Pellegrini out to Cagliari, meaning Nsoki could be targeted as cover for Alex Sandro with the potential to be a first-team ace.
Seeing Nsoki join such a huge Champions League club would be a bitter pill for Newcastle to swallow, having squandered their own chances to sign the youngster last month.
