'The defender, who arrived at St. James' Park from AFC Bournemouth at the end of his Cherries contract in the summer of 2024, has made seven starts for the Magpies in all competitions this season, with a further seven substitute appearances.
'Newcastle United thanks Lloyd for his efforts and wishes him well in Turin.'
Newcastle were always going to state an 'undisclosed fee', but reports suggest we also have a sell-on clause inserted into the deal.
Kelly becomes the second senior player to leave this month, joining Miguel Almiron out of the exit door following his £10m move to former club Atlanta United.
A brief stay brilliant for PSR?
This has to be considered very smart business considering Kelly arrived on a free transfer last summer and has now left in the following window for a considerable fee.
He'll also free up a considerable chunk of wages, helping our PSR situation in more ways than one. The worry is the lack of depth down that left side should Sven Botman or Lewis Hall suffer an injury, but we do have options in Dan Burn and Matt Targett.
All the best in Italy, Lloyd. Let's hope he gets more minutes in Turin than he managed on Tyneside.
