The Juventus of Turin continues working in the market to strengthen its defensive line and has set its sights on Lloyd Kelly, a defender from Newcastle United. The Italian club is seeking options to reinforce its squad for the second half of the season, and the Englishman has become their main target after failing to secure the arrival of Kevin Danso from Lens.

Newcastle, which acquired Kelly's services last summer at no transfer cost, values his departure at an amount ranging between 15 and 18 million euros, as indicated by 'Calciomercato'. However, the English club prefers a permanent sale or, alternatively, a loan with an obligation to buy, a condition that would complicate the operation for Juventus due to its current financial situation.

Negotiations for Lloyd Kelly Speed Up

Cristiano Giuntoli, sporting director of the Vecchia Signora, has rekindled discussions with Newcastle to try to find a viable formula to incorporate the British center-back. Juventus prefers a loan with an option to buy, seeking economic flexibility to focus its resources on a major investment for the defense next summer.

Simultaneously, the bianconeri continue evaluating other alternatives like David Hancko from Feyenoord, but for now, the main focus is on Kelly. The negotiation remains open, and as the winter market progresses, Juventus will try to reach an agreement before the transfer window closes.
