Newcastle will reportedly face competition from La Liga clubs in their bid to sign Stefano Sturaro from Juventus this summer.
The Magpies have been linked with a move for the Italian international for some time now and they have apparently reignited their interest ahead of next season.
However, it seems their pursuit of Sturaro will not be without opposition, as according to talkSPORT, Real Betis and Villarreal also want to sign him from Juventus.
Sturaro has never truly established himself as a starting player under Massimiliano Allegri and this could finally prompt him to seek pastures new after years of links with a move away.
It’s claimed in the report that Juventus will demand a meagre sum of just £9 million for Sturaro, which is certainly an affordable outlay for potential suitors this summer.
The 25-year-old is reportedly being allowed to leave Juventus and Rafa Benitez may be tempted to pounce if he can fend off competition from Betis and Villarreal.
