Newcastle United are set for another drawn-out transfer saga, this time over right-back Mathieu Debuchy – with no resolution likely until after the World Cup.
With interest from the likes of Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain, Debuchy has refused to commit his future to the Magpies or to give any thought to a move.
The 28-year-old is preparing for the World Cup, where he faces competition for his place in France’s starting 11 from Bacary Sagna, the man Arsenal are looking to replace.
Debuchy’s close friend Yohan Cabaye left in January and the suspicion is his departure, and Newcastle’s lack of ambition, will make it hard for the Magpies to resist a big offer for the defender.
Since joining up with Les Bleus, Debuchy has voiced his frustration with manager Alan Pardew, suggesting the Londoner’s reluctance to allow him to play his natural attacking game could see him lose out to Sagna when Didier Deschmaps names his team for the opening game, against Honduras on June 15.
Sagna is expected to join Manchester City after confirming he will not renew his Arsenal contract.
Paris Saint-Germain coach Laurent Blanc is a confirmed fan of Debuchy, having handed him his international debut and made him his first-choice right-back during his time as national manager.
