Newcastle 'join the race to sign Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger on a free this summer' amid interest from European giants PSG and Real Madrid... as the Magpies' new owners look to show their intent

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.
