newcastle united Atalanta have been linked with Sergej Levak this week and they have to work towards signing him.
on thursday, sports witness Tuttomercatoweb covered information about the midfielder's future. The outlet was confident the Magpies had made a move for the Serbian, who was also scouted by Manchester United a few months ago.
The 20-year-old played 34 times for Atalanta's U23 team in Serie C, scoring seven times. This was his first full season for the club, having joined from AS Roma in 2025.
The impact that Levac made for the La Dea U23s team earned him a place on the bench of the senior team several times.
approach rejected
Corriere Della SeraThe Bergamo edition covers Atalanta's transactions over the summer. Marco Palestra is at the center of this, with the club also pushing to sign Gianluca Gaetano.
Another important outgoing will be Lewak.
The newspaper says Newcastle United offered €10m to sign him. This approach was rejected, as the Italian side wanted a higher amount.
At the same time, Levak will also be considered an option for the first team. The club are assessing his progress and Maurizio Sarri will play a big role in his future.
For now, the midfielder will be part of La Dea's summer training camp. This will give Sarri an opportunity to keep a close eye on the young player.
Higher fees may seal the move
Atalanta signed Levak for free, as Roma could not tie him to a professional contract. Whatever they earn from its sale goes as capital gains.
This is something Newcastle United need to consider. In the Italian football environment, no player is sellable.
The Magpies should see this as a sign that a deal can be done.
