Newcastle face competition from four Premier League clubs for Ligue 1 defender

The Magpies will need to assess whether a move for the Rennes defender fits their recruitment plans as they consider their options at centre-back.

Ait Boudlal’s future remains uncertain, and it is unclear whether Newcastle will make a formal approach in the coming months.

However, with interest continuing to grow, the Morocco international could become a player to watch as clubs begin preparing for the 2027 transfer window.
