Brentford has shown interest in Torino defender Alessandro Buongiorno, who is also a target for Newcastle United. Despite Torino’s desire to keep him, Buongiorno is considering a move, with Napoli being a favorable option for him. Eddie Howe’s Newcastle is also in the running to sign Buongiorno, as they seek to strengthen their defense due to long term injuries.
According to reports from Italian outlet ArenaNapoli, Brentford has inquired about Buongiorno but has indicated that they are willing to pay a maximum of €30m for the center-back. Meanwhile, Buongiorno has shown positive signs towards a potential move to Napoli, where he has received encouragement from new coach Antonio Conte. Napoli has been working on finalizing a deal with Buongiorno’s agent.
Despite being named to Italy’s Euro 2024 squad, Buongiorno has yet to make an appearance in the tournament. He was an unused substitute in Italy’s recent 1-1 draw with Croatia and will be hoping for playing time in the upcoming matches. Buongiorno’s future remains uncertain as he considers his options for the upcoming season.
