Newcastle United receives a £20 million increase in their inaugural summer transfer. Lloyd Kelly has officially concluded a permanent transfer from Newcastle to Juventus today (June 30), following an initial loan period.
In an agreement that included an obligation to purchase based on performance-related criteria, the 26-year-old defender joined Juventus on loan during the winter transfer window. The performance-related criteria were satisfied during the 2024/25 season, as reported by The Gazette, necessitating that Juventus finalize the transfer.
When Newcastle published its retained list, it subsequently verified the transfer, stating that Kelly would officially become a Juventus player on June 30. The defender is presently in the United States, preparing to face Real Madrid in the last-16 of the competition on Tuesday (8pm kick-off). He is currently with the Serie A team at the FIFA Club World Cup. What is the price that Juventus will pay Newcastle United for Lloyd Kelly?
Newcastle’s transfer activity has been lacking in the previous few seasons; however, Kelly’s acquisition has been a significant financial success. Kelly was acquired by the Magpies on a free transfer last summer. Newcastle was able to loan him out to Juventus for a fee with substantial return potential, despite the fact that he only made four Premier League starts and was a high earner.
Newcastle has now been charged a total transfer fee of up to £19.9 million for Kelly, in addition to the initial £2.5 million loan fee. This is not a terrible outcome for a player who was signed for free and only appeared in four games during his tenure in the league.
