NEWCASTLE are reportedly plotting a triple raid on Italian football as they line up deals with AC Milan and Juventus.
Eddie Howe is looking to make a splash in the market after sealing Champions League football.
And Toon are now closing in on a stunning £65million move for Milan midfielder Sandro Tonali.
Personal terms have already been agreed on an £8m-a-year contract.
But Di Marzio claims Tonali is not the only Serie A giant in Newcastle’s sights.
It’s reckoned Howe is looking for a new attacking left-back.

And Tonali’s Milan team-mate Theo Hernandez has emerged as his preferred choice.
Treble winners Manchester City and rivals Man United are both thought to be interested in the France international.
Hernandez, who is Milan’s vice-captain, is valued at around £60m.
But it’s reckoned Newcastle’s biggest challenge comes from Atletico Madrid, Hernandez’s boyhood club.

The third Serie A-based star on Howe’s list is said to be Juventus winger Federico Chiesa.
He’s also on United’s shortlist, while Liverpool are keeping tabs following Roberto Firmino’s exit.
But it’s said the only concrete interest to come for Chiesa is from Aston Villa, who are ready to offer to £52m.
Chiesa is open to a Premier League switch, but he has no intention of joining Unai Emery’s side.
And that could open the door for Newcastle to pounce as Howe targets more options in the final third.
