Werder Bremen centre-back Karim Coulibaly has attracted concrete interest from Newcastle United, Chelsea, Napoli and Olympique Marseille, according to Bild.
Talks are already said to be taking place, but no offers have yet been submitted for the 18-year-old, who is understood to be valued at around €45 million by Werder.
Paris Saint-Germain are also said to be interested, although their pursuit is less concrete than that of the other clubs mentioned.
Coulibaly has made his breakthrough into Werder’s first team this season, making 22 appearances.
His contract with the Green and Whites runs until 2029.
