Kieran Trippier's Newcastle United contract expires at the end of the season, and there is interest from multiple clubs worldwide.
The Magpies are keen to tie him down to a new deal, but the former Atletico Madrid defender may want another opportunity to play abroad.
Trippier is now 35, but is still expected to play a big role under Eddie Howe this season. This is especially due to Newcastle's other right-back, Tino Livramento, suffering a potentially serious injury against Arsenal last Sunday.
Livramento had to come off on a stretcher, with concerns that he may have suffered a cruciate ligament tear. The defender had previously suffered the same injury during his time at Southampton.
Despite turning down a move to AS Monaco at the end of the last transfer window, the Ligue 1 side remains interested in signing Trippier.
According to Chronicle Live, "Monaco remain keen while there is also interest from Major League Soccer clubs and the Saudi Pro League."

Kieran Trippier has been a key part of the new regime at Newcastle United
Trippier was Newcastle's first signing under the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia's ownership.
It was a statement signing to get the defender from Atletico, and the transfer has paid off.
He has been part of the Newcastle side that won the EFL Cup, which ended a 56-year trophy drought.
Trippier has also helped the club qualify for the Champions League twice. They are in the competition this season and play Union Saint-Gilloise tomorrow.
Monaco is also in the Champions League this campaign. The French side also has Trippier's former Tottenham Hotspur and England teammate Eric Dier in their squad.
Moving to MLS or the Saudi Pro League would signal the end of Trippier's career at the highest level.
