Media reports claim that Newcastle are keeping tabs on Juan Miranda, who currently plays as a defender for Bologna. The move is still in the early stages, but interest appears to be growing. Juventus have not withdrawn their interest and could still influence the outcome. So far in this season, Newcastle are conceding 1.6 goals a game (16 in 10), more than they'd like compared to the Premier League standard. The hope is Juan Miranda adds a bit of steel and helps make them tougher to break down. Speculation continues to connect Newcastle with Gabriel Morais Silva Bontempo, Koni De Winter and Thierno Barry while no fresh rumours surround Bologna. Need more Newcastle transfer rumours?
