Newcastle Midfielder On Brink Of Exit - But Only If Fee Is Agreed
Abeid's Tyneside exit is drawing closer.
Panathinaikos are looking to take Mehdi Abeid back to Greece this summer - but they are yet to meet Newcastle United's asking price, according to reports. The Chronicle claim the Greek outfit, who Abeid spent a season on loan at back in 2013-14, are hoping to acquire Abeid's services on a permanent basis, but they are yet to meet the Magpies' £2 million asking price. Abeid found himself on the Magpies bench for the 1-0 pre-season friendly loss to Borussia Mönchengladbach earlier this month, but he did not come on - and now it looks like he will leave Tyneside, with Bundesliga 2 side Fortuna Düsseldorf also reportedly interested in his signature. 
This is a player (Abeid) you have to always watch. Of course, hes interesting but much more. It is not currently available.
