Long-term Newcastle target Ozan Kabak has been made available to leave Schalke, but there are a host of European clubs after his signature.

Italian side Torino looked most likely to sign the Turkish centre-back but they have reportedly seen a loan-offer rejected by the German club who would prefer to see Kabak leave on a permanent deal.

Newcastle are yet to submit their bid for the player they were close to signing in January.
