Newcastle United have joined the race to sign Czech international defender David Rozehnal.

 

The Paris Saint Germain star is the subject of a bid from Borussia Dortmund, but now Newcastle have entered the battle for his signature.

 

The 26-year-old has been a rock at the heart of the PSG defence for the last two years since joining from Club Brugge.

 

Dortmund looked clear favourites to land Rozehnal, but now his representatives have confirmed Newcastle are now very much in the running as new boss Sam Allardyce targets some much needed defensive reinforcements.

 

Pavel Zika admits that talks between PSG and Borussia are not going as smoothly as they could.

 

"After a meeting between PSG and Borussia representatives it seemed the deal would be done easly, but now it looks that the negotiations will be very tough," he said.

 

"Also, Newcastle are yet to have their strong say."

 

Vikor Kolar - who works with Zika, admitted that Rozehnal's future will be decided by PSG.

 

"It will depend which side hand PSG the most financially interesting offer," he told Sport.

 

"Both destinations [borussia and Newcastle] have their magic, but PSG will have the final word. David is going to consider his future after Saturday's match against Wales." Allardyce is a known fan of Rozehnal after trying to sign him for Bolton as recently as January and he has wasted little time in rekindling his interest.

Borussia Dortmund admit their hopes of signing Czech Republic international David Rozehnal have all but gone after Newcastle entered the race for the defender's signature.

 

The Bundesliga side had earmarked the Paris Saint Germain star as the ideal replacement for Real Madrid-bound Christoph Metzelder.

 

But Newcastle boss Sam Allardyce is reportedly prepared to top Dortmund's €3.5million (£2.3m) offer to land the 26-year-old.

 

"We were keen on him long before the English registered their interest, but Paris won't allow him to join us," boss Hans-Joachim Watzke told Kicker.

 

"Financially we have gone as far as possible and we won't be part of a bidding race.

 

"We won't and we can't afford to spend €5million (£3.3m) for a central defender."

 

Rozehnal has been a key figure at the heart of the PSG defence for the last two years since joining from Club Brugge.

Meanwhile, Toon boss Sam Allardyce has beaten off stiff competition from Borussia Dortmund to land £3.3m defender David Rozehnal.

 

Dortmund have finally admitted defeat in the race for the 26-year-old Paris St Germain centre-back, who is set to sign a lucrative three-year deal at St James’ Park.

 

Allardyce gave the green light to push through the £24,000-a-week deal after seeing Rozehnal in action for the Czech Republic against Wales on Saturday.
