Liverpool, Newcastle eye Marco Palestra

Both Liverpool and Newcastle United have expressed interest in 21‑year‑old Serie A full‑back Marco Palestra, who is valued at £39.2 m.

Liverpool’s approach appears measured, seeing Palestra as a long‑term squad option, while Newcastle’s interest is more urgent amid uncertainty over Tino Livramento. Atalanta, who hold the €45 m price tag, view the defender as a potential high‑value asset or long‑term investment. Other European clubs, including Inter, Juventus, Barcelona, AC Milan, Napoli and Roma, are also watching the race closely.
