Newcastle United is reportedly entering the competition to acquire defender Jonathan Tah.
The 29-year-old Tah is highly sought after and will be available as a free agent this summer, attracting interest from numerous clubs.
Reports indicate that Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich are all interested in the Bayer Leverkusen centre-back.
SunSport understands that Newcastle are also keeping tabs on the player.
Manager Eddie Howe is eager to strengthen his defensive line-up for next season, as he aims to build a squad capable of mounting a serious title challenge.
Newcastle`s primary defensive target is still Marc Guehi of Crystal Palace, who is expected to depart Selhurst Park and is also a target for Chelsea.
Newcastle made a £70 million bid for the England and Eagles defender last year.
However, Tah presents an alternative option, and German reports suggest he is open to a move to the Premier League.
Real Madrid`s chances could be enhanced if Xabi Alonso, currently Leverkusen`s manager, takes over from Carlo Ancelotti at the Bernabéu.
Staying in the Bundesliga is an option with Bayern, whereas Barcelona`s pursuit is reportedly complicated by their current financial issues impacting player registration.
The German international, capped 35 times, has already confirmed his departure from Leverkusen after a decade at the club.
He has made an impressive 400 appearances for Leverkusen, winning the Bundesliga title and DFB Pokal this past season.
