Liverpool and Newcastle Target 21‑Year‑Old Serie A Full‑Back

Liverpool and Newcastle are both interested in 21‑year‑old Marco Palestra, a versatile right‑back who can drift left and contribute defensively and offensively.

Liverpool’s interest is measured, viewing Palestra as both squad depth and a long‑term solution, while Newcastle’s urgency stems from uncertainty over Tino Livramento. Atalanta values the defender at €45 million, seeing him as a potential long‑term asset or sale. Other clubs such as Inter Milan, Juventus, Barcelona, AC Milan, Napoli and Roma are also reportedly watching Palestra, making the transfer window highly competitive.
