Newcastle attempted to bolster their defensive ranks in the January transfer window but were limited by PSR.
Newcastle are reportedly set to join the race for Bournemouth centre-back Dean Huijsen this summer.
The gifted Cherries defender has caught the attention of several top clubs following an impressive debut Premier League season at the Vitality Stadium.
Despite Bournemouth’s desire to retain the 19-year-old, a release clause in his contract will become active at the end of the season which is saw to catch the eye of his suitors.
According to the Mirror, Newcastle have joined Chelsea and Bayern Munich in the race to secure the signature of the Spaniard, while Juventus have a sell-on clause.
Andoni Iraola’s team look poised to make a significant profit having secured Huijsen for an initial £12.6million from Juve last summer.
A centre-back remains a transfer priority for Newcastle after four unsuccessful bids for Marc Guehi last summer. The Magpies had also prepared to sign Manchester City’s Abdukodir Khusanov from Lens this winter, but were hindered by PSR issues and could not finalise the deal.
They have been monitoring Huijsen since last season when he shone on loan at Roma.
