Newcastle United are doing all they can to get Emmanuel Riviere off their books this summer, and can’t be faulted for a lack of effort.
Willing to go down to a low transfer fee, L’Equipe report Newcastle accepted a €1.5m offer from Metz for the 27 year old.
Whilst that’s obviously a low amount for the forward, with Riviere being out of Rafael Benitez’s plans at Newcastle United it makes sense to get him off the wage bill, and €1.5m is better than the nothing he’ll be worth when his contract expires in June.
Newcastle and Metz may have agreed a fee, but L’Equipe say Riviere has snubbed the chance to sign for the French club, not attracted by what’s on offer to him.
