Middlesbrough, Bournemouth and Stoke City are all said to be interested in the Newcastle wide-man, who is valued at around £15 million.
Newcastle have had Ritchie for two seasons now, and he has been a regular starter for Benitez’ side.
However, the Spaniard boss reportedly feels that Ritchie could be upgraded for next season.
Boro and Stoke are both keen to make him one of their marquee signings, as they look to strengthen their squads.
Boro have already invested heavily on Aden Flint, while Stoke are putting together a very impressive squad, with a number of eye-catching additions already made by Gary Rowett’s side.
