However, there is rumoured uncertainty over the future of club captain and senior centreback Fabricio Coloccini, who apparently wants a "dream" move back to his native Argentina, according to his father.* Were Coloccini to leave, that'd leave Pardew needing a new centreback, and he has been linked with a move for River Plate's Germán Pezzella, who plays at centre-half. He is only 21 - nine years younger than Coloccini - and would cost around the region of £4.5 million.** Source(s): * Daily Mail, ** The Sun
