If Newcastle United decide they want to sign another right-back this summer then they can look no further than Noussair Mazraoui.

That is because Mazraoui has reportedly been offered to Newcastle and various other clubs as he eyes a move away from Bayern Munich.

The 25-year-old joined the Bavarians on a free transfer at the start of the season, but is already eyeing a move away from the Allianz Arena due to limited minutes in Germany. In a recent interview, Mazraoui admitted that his current situation is ‘not good‘.

And that could lead him to the Premier League, with Newcastle being one of multiple English clubs to be made aware that the Morocco international could be available this summer.

Noussair Mazraoui offered to Newcastle and more

According to 90min, Mazraoui’s representatives are trying to find out if anyone would be interested in signing their client during the upcoming summer transfer window.

The report states that Premier League clubs Newcastle, Arsenal, Crystal Palace, West Ham United and Wolves have all been contacted and will be kept informed about any developments regarding the right-back’s future.

As well as those six clubs, the likes of Borussia Dortmund, Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid are being kept in the loop.

Newcastle have no need for the defender

While Mazraoui is a talented player, it is difficult to see Newcastle making a move. We already have a top class right-back in Kieran Trippier, who has played at the highest level.

If Mazraoui were to arrive at St James’ Park, he would suffer the same problems he is currently enduring with Bayern Munich. He would struggle for minutes ahead of Trippier, and would likely be seeking another move away soon enough.

But if Newcastle do decide to make a move, he would be reunited with a familiar face. Mazraoui came through the Ajax youth system alongside Sven Botman, who is enjoying a brilliant debut season on Tyneside.

However, it feels incredibly unlikely that they will meet again in the North East next season. Mazraoui might be eyeing a move away from Bayern, but is unlikely to get admiring glances from Eddie Howe and co.
