Italian media reported on Thursday that the Senegal international was on his way out of St James' Park, suggesting that a deal had been agreed with Turkish outfit Galatasaray.
But the Toon striker still won't say if he will leave in the summer or stay.
The Magpies have, however, dismissed rumours that have suggested a deal has been done with Galatasaray and insist that the striker, who netted 16 times during his debut season for the club in 2011/12, is not for sale.
Alan Pardew said on BBC TV last night: "I don't know if he has been sold.
"I haven't been told anything."
