Achraf Lazaar is reportedly set to leave Newcastle United for Genoa in the summer transfer window.
It has been reported that Lazaar is having a medical at Italian club Genoa ahead of his move from Newcastle.
Disappointing spell at Newcastle United
Lazaar has been on the books of Newcastle since the summer of 2016 when he joined from Palermo for a transfer fee reported by Sky Sports to be worth £2 million.
The 26-year-old left-back – who earns £15,000 per week as salary, according to The Daily Star – has failed to make an impact at St. James’ Park and was able to play just 37 minutes in the Championship during the 2016-17 campaign, according to WhoScored.
The Morocco international defender spent the 2017-18 season on loan at Benevento in Italy, making six starts and three substitute appearances in Serie A in the process, according to WhoScored.
It would make sense for Lazaar to leave Newcastle and join Genoam where he is likely to get more playing time that he would get at the Magpies this season.
