Newcastle and Bournemouth involved in club's transfer 'harakiri' – Player is 'not convincing' at all

03/19/2025 05:16 AM

Juventus sold Dean Huijsen to Bournemouth in the summer transfer window and to replace the youngster, they signed Lloyd Kelly on an initial loan deal from Newcastle United in January.

Huijsen has impressed a lot during his time at Bournemouth, and is already attracting the attention of major clubs including Real Madrid.

At the same time, Kelly has struggled to settle into life in Italy since he arrived from Newcastle, and criticism has been aimed at the Englishman.

Tuttomercatoweb have described all of this as a transfer 'harakiri' for Juventus, who now regret not just selling Huijsen but also bringing in Kelly from Newcastle United when they could have actually signed him on a free transfer right after he had left Bournemouth last summer.

The Bianconeri could end up paying over €25m to the Magpies in their move for the 26-year-old.

That is described as a sum that is 'not economically trivial' for a player who is 'not convincing' in Italy, having struggled in Juve’s 3-0 loss to Fiorentina at the weekend.

Kelly had played only ten Premier League games for Newcastle United in the first half of the season. This makes the outlet question Juve’s approach in the market further.

All in all, it’s seen as a mess. Juventus are currently out of the top four in the Serie A and in a lot of ways they have themselves to blame.
