Stanley N’Soki will not be taking part today as PSG face Inter Milan in a preseason friendly, reports RMC’s Loic Tanzi.

This comes just hours after L’Equipe reported an offer had arrived from Newcastle United for the PSG youngster. The Premier League side have pushed a bid of €8m forward, but this isn’t enough to please the French champions.

They’re looking for €15m, although L’Equipe made it clear that, in private, sporting director Leonardo has suggested the club will accept €12m.

Newcastle United have been in the ‘concrete’ stage of negotiations for several days, according to the claims, and there’d a lot of optimism put around a transfer for the 20 year old defender.

The Magpies also tried to sign him towards the end of the last summer window. On deadline day it was reported N’Soki’s entourage thought a deal was wobbling, after they’d already agreed terms with Newcastle.

They were right to worry, with the player staying where has was.

Update: Since his earlier claim, Loic Tanzi has now tweeted that N’Soki is suffering from ‘muscle discomfort’.
