Newcastle United have joined the race to sign out of contract Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger this summer.
The German centre-back has been linked with European giants Paris Saint Germain, Real Madrid and Manchester United with his contract due to expire at the end of the season.
The 29-year-old has not ruled out staying at Stamford Bridge, but his departure is looking likely as he looks no closer to penning a new deal.
The Magpies are willing to fight it out with some of the biggest clubs in the world for his signature, according to the Telegraph.
