Newcastle United is particularly interested in Ivorian centre-back Odilon Kossounou to strengthen its defense for upcoming domestic and European campaigns. The 25-year-old, who joined Atalanta from Bayer Leverkusen last summer, is considered an ideal candidate due to his experience in both the Bundesliga and Serie A.
Kossounou's market value is estimated at 25 million euros, and Newcastle could attempt to sign him in the coming weeks. His contract with Atalanta is valid until June 2029, and he has 34 caps for the Ivory Coast. Crystal Palace has also been linked with the defender.
