Newcastle "Agree" To Let Midfielder Go On Loan - As Deal For Thauvin Edges Closer
Cabella's on his way out, with Thauvin on his way in.
Remy Cabella is set to join Marseille on loan after the Ligue 1 side agreed a deal to take the playmaker to France, according to reports. Get French Football claim that RMC are reporting that Cabella will move to France on a season-long loan deal and that Marseille will have an option to sign the midfielder for just £5.7 million (8 million) next summer. It is likely that this move will help to initiate Florian Thauvin's transfer to Tyneside, with RMC also having reported on Tuesday morning that the Magpies had agreed a £12 million plus-Cabella-on-loan deal for the winger. https://twitter.com/GFN_France/status/633300894092804097 But, speaking about the Cabella move, Get French Football tweeted:
"Newcastle & Marseille have reached an agreement now for the loan of Remy Cabella with a 8 million euro buy-out option, according to RMC. More to come."Cabella endured a difficult first season in the Barclays Premier League, netting just once, and he looks set to return to France for a huge loss. It was claimed last summer that the midfielder moved to the North East from Montpellier that Newcastle had paid £12 million for his services - at the time a record outlay of the Mike Ashley era. Should both figures be correct, then the Magpies look set to recoup less than half of that now.
