Modibo Maiga wants a move to Newcastle United.
Fancies the Toon
Newcastle United have allegedly made a bid for Sochaux striker Modibo Maiga.

According to Sky Sports we’ve put in an €8m (£7m) bid for Modibo Maiga who is reported to be ‘unsettled’ at French outfit Sochaux. Part of the reason he’s unsettled is, it seems, because he wants a transfer to Newcastle but his club are refusing to acknowledge his desire to leave.

Magai has confirmed Newcastle’s approach, saying:

“Before the Newcastle offer I have not been offered anything, but now I would like the chairman to consider my interest. I want to leave.

“I met everyone at Newcastle. They want me and it is not just any club. Premier League is a dream.

“That is the kind of game I like, it suits me and it is good for my career. I want to leave, he has to accept that and negotiate.

“I told the coach I would play and respect my contract, but the chairman has to talk about my transfer first. I don’t want to annoy Sochaux, but I want it to be sorted out with Newcastle.” (more…)
