Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Newcastle's fan favourite Allan Saint-Maximin has thrown the club's transfer plans into doubt, with reports intimating that he is considering higher wages from other clubs.

Newcastle had not planned to sell their star player this summer. Despite the wealthy financial takeover at Newcastle, the club still has to conform to Financial Fair Play Rules.

Things like higher salaries for players cannot be introduced immediately. Saint-Maximin is aware that his performances have attracted the interest of top clubs that can double what he is currently earning.
