According to reports from Calciomercato, Serie A giants Lazio are close to completing a deal for Club Brugge forward Wesley Moraes this summer.
The 22-year-old enjoyed a fantastic campaign for Brugge in which he scored 17 goals and provided 10 assists.
The report claims that Lazio are edging ‘ever closer’ to completing a deal for the striker. They have submitted an offer in the region of €18m plus an additional €3m in bonuses, which is still some €4m short of Brugge’s asking price (£22m).
The news will come as a blow for Newcastle.
