If Ritchie were to leave Newcastle United this summer, then Portsmouth, the club he rose through the ranks at before joining Swindon Town in 2011, had been tipped as a potential destination for him this summer.
Pompey have just won promotion back to the Championship under John Mousinho and are preparing for their first season in the second-tier since the 2011/12 season.
Ritchie had been regarded as someone who could add vast experience to Mousinho’s squad, however, fresh reports from The Portsmouth News suggests that a return to Fratton Park is not on the cards for Ritchie.
They report that Portsmouth currently do not have Ritchie listed as a potential signing this summer and will explore other options.
Portsmouth will likely look at signing younger talents they can develop for the future, rather than adding experienced players like Ritchie to their ranks.
