PSG have confirmed they want to sign Newcastle midfielder Yohan Cabaye, reports The Daily Mail.
The Frenchman has enjoyed a successful career with the Premier League side and has arguably become the Toon’s most important player.
But new PSG manager Laurent Blanc is ready to test Newcastle’s hold of the 27-year-old, after speaking highly of the midfielder.
The French manager took over from Carlo Ancelotti as boss of the Ligue 1 champions, and is keen to bring in his own players to the squad. And despite Cabaye missing a big chunk of the season through injury, Blanc is keen to bring the Frenchman back to his home country.
Cabaye has scored 10 goals in his two seasons with Newcastle, after leaving Ligue 1 side Lille in 2011.
Losing Cabaye could be a second blow for Alan Pardew and Joe Kinnear, after reports suggested that transfer target Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could join Borussia Dortmund.
The Champions Legaue finalists have agreed a fee with St. Etienne for the Gabon international.
Could Cabaye be tempted to leave this summer? How much of a blow would it be for Newcastle?
