Newcastle United are reportedly among a few clubs looking to swoop for Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger, according to The Telegraph.
The 29-year-old has less than four months left to run on his contract at Stamford Bridge.
As it stands, it is suggested that the Blues remain with a chance of convincing the Germany international to extend his stay.
However, the Magpies are ready to join the race for Rudiger’s signature. The centre-back will realistically have his pick of clubs in the summer, potentially leaving Eddie Howe’s side as underdogs to get a deal over the line.
Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United are also said to be monitoring the situation.
