Corriere Dello Sport states that Newcastle are also pursuing the stopper with a view to bringing him to England.
He is said to share an agent with Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali, who is currently suspended for betting violations.
Buongiorno has four caps for Italy and is at Euro 2024 with his national teammates.
Newcastle are very eager to sign a centre half after missing out on Tosin Adarabioyo.
