Blackburn chief Mark Hughes is hot on the trail of veteran Bayern Munich central defender Thomas Linke.
But the German giants will only allow the 35-year-old to leave if Newcastle's attempts to sign fellow central defender Sammy Kuffour falter.
The Magpies are sounding out a move for Kuffour in which case Bayern would not be preapared to let both players depart in the January window.
