# Newcastle United: Magpies ‘want’ Renan Lodi

**Journalist Jacque Talbot has revealed that [Newcastle United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/newcastle-united-news/) now ‘want’ to sign Renan Lodi this summer.**

### The Lowdown: Targett alternative?

It is not guaranteed that the St. James’ Park faithful will sign Matt Targett on a permanent deal from Aston Villa this window, despite [97.5%](https://twitter.com/ChrisDHWaugh/status/1517387773270974465) of surveyed supporters wanting him to stay.

Thus, they may have to look at other targets in the left-back area in case the Englishman stays put at Villa Park, albeit in what would be a pretty surprising twist.

### The Latest: Lodi wanted

Taking to Twitter, [Talbot](https://twitter.com/jac_talbot/status/1529749250304884737) has revealed that they now ‘want’ to sign Lodi, with the Atletico Madrid left-back ‘keen’ on a move to the North East:

*“Told Renan Lodi is yet to hear from Atletico and Newcastle regarding the move but club want him and the player is keen.”*

### The Verdict: Options…

Of course, the Tyneside outfit could still go back in for Targett, but it is good to see them exploring other options, especially in the form of Lodi.

Described as a ‘[very dangerous](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/renan-lodi-newcastle-united-transfer-24062400)‘ player by Atletico manager Diego Simeone, the Brazilian has proven himself at the highest level, [playing](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/renan-lodi/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/476352/plus/0?saison=2021&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) in the UEFA Champions League this season, while also helping Atletico win the La Liga [title](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/renan-lodi/erfolge/spieler/476352) last campaign ahead of the likes of Real Madrid and FC Barcelona.

Nonetheless, the Magpies were already able to lure another one of their full-backs in Kieran Trippier to the club in January, and so they should back themselves to get a deal done for Lodi as well.
