​AC Milan name price for Newcastle target Laxalt

Newcastle United can have Diego Laxalt - provided they can fork over £10.7 million.

Calciomercato believes that Milan are happy to sell the player, even though he only signed from Genoa six months ago.

The 25-year-old left back has played just four games in Serie A from the start, coming off the bench nine times.

Newcastle boss Rafa Benitez is desperate to add an experienced defender, but even ten million seems like a sum that is out of their reach.

The club is known for its limited transfer kitty, with owner Mike Ashley unable or unwilling to provide the manager with more financial backing.
