According to a report from Tuttosport (translated by SportWitness), the Magpies have been keeping tabs on the player for a while now and they are set to offer a sum of around €20-25m for him.
The defender impressed during his loan spell at Sassuolo and he could prove to be a quality addition to Benitez’s defence.
Rogerio is owned by Juventus but the Italian giants might not be able to offer him regular first team football next season.
In that case, a permanent move away from Juventus would be the best for the 21-year-old player.
