According to a report from Gazzetta dello Sport, as translated by Sport Witness, Newcastle’s Archaf Lazaar has been valued at €3 million by the club as they look to offload the defender.
Lazaar hasn’t featured at all this season and has failed to hold down a starting spot since joining The Magpies.
He spent the end of last season on loan at Benevento in the Serie A, the league from which he moved to join Newcastle in 2016.
Lazaar looked very close to moving to Genoa in the summer window, however, the deal broke down, with the 26-year-old understood to still be keen on a move to Italy.
Newcastle will be looking to enjoy success in the January transfer window but may need to trim the first-team squad of its deadwood, with Lazaar evidently surplus to the club’s requirements.
Gazzetta’s report indicates that after previously valuing the left-back at €6 million, the Magpies will now accept offers worth around half the aforementioned price.
