Newcastle, Inter, Arsenal pursue Atalanta's Marco Palestra

Newcastle United has joined Inter and Arsenal in pursuing Marco Palestra of Atalanta. The 21-year-old wing-back attracted attention following his loan performance at Cagliari and his contributions to the Italy senior squad. Palestra, capable of playing both right-back and advanced attacking roles, is not expected to return to Atalanta after his loan spell, with a market value of at least €45 million. While Inter is keen on acquiring him, financial constraints may hinder their efforts unless they sell Denzel Dumfries. Mixed reports have surfaced regarding Manchester City's interest in Palestra, which appears to have cooled recently.
