Newcastle likely to miss out on Marco Palestra transfer

Newcastle United's pursuit of Atalanta’s Marco Palestra appears to have stalled. Fabrizio Romano reports the transfer is not expected to materialize, despite Newcastle's interest and ability to meet the €45 million asking price. Palestra has not shown willingness to join the Magpies after a strong season on loan at Cagliari. With Kieran Trippier's departure, Newcastle may turn their attention to Strasbourg’s Guela Doue as a potential replacement. Doue's versatility and impressive performance in Ligue 1 make him an appealing candidate for coach Eddie Howe.
