Earlier on Thursday, it was reported by journalist Sacha Tavolieri that Newcastle had sent a delegation to the south of France in order to get a deal for Allan Saint-Maximin over the line.
It was believed there wasn’t a lot left to do, with just commissions to sort out on an €18m + bonuses deal that would see the France U21 international head to St James’ Park.
Well, a few hours later, it appears those talks were very useful since Loic Tanzi, who works for RMC Sport, is reporting that a deal has been reached between all parties and Saint-Maximin will be a Newcastle player.
The deal is in fact an €18m up front offer with ‘quite a few bonuses’ on top to make the deal more enticing for Nice.
