Newcastle United is currently in the midst of the transfer rumor mill, with numerous players linked to the club. One of the standout stories involves Lloyd Kelly, a defender currently at Juventus. Reports from TuttoJuve suggest that Newcastle United is competing with Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest for Kelly's signature. Juventus is not in a rush to sell, but they may consider offers around €35 million, approximately £30.2 million, for the central defender. While there's a possibility that Kelly could return to the Premier League, it seems unlikely that it will be with Newcastle United. Kelly had limited opportunities during his time at Newcastle, making only six starts and seven substitute appearances. However, he was a solid acquisition by Eddie Howe, who brought him in as a free agent from Bournemouth in the summer of 2024. Just six months later, he was transferred to Juventus in a deal that ultimately benefited Newcastle financially. Kelly's loan to Juventus became permanent in June 2025, and he has since made a significant impact in Serie A, starting 33 of 38 league matches last season. Despite Juventus finishing sixth, they had one of the better defensive records in the league, indicating Kelly's contributions on the pitch.
