Negotiations are expected to kick off immediately after the current season wraps up, as United's executives view the 25-year-old Italian as the perfect replacement for Casemiro, whose departure from the club is considered almost inevitable.
Reportedly, the player himself is open to a change of scenery, especially given the risk that Newcastle could miss out on Champions League football next season.
Notably, this season the Italian midfielder has featured in 47 matches for the Magpies across all competitions, scoring 3 goals and providing 7 assists. Transfermarkt values the player at €80 million.
Reminder: The son of Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has been ruled out for the rest of the season due to a serious injury.
