In the last days, Newcastle United have made an enquiry to AS Monaco concerning defender Aymen Abdennour.
Get French Football News reported that Newcastle had made an approach to the player’s entourage in April, but that their advances were rejected at the time.
Abdennour has concrete interest from Valencia, Wolfsburg, Tottenham and several other sides.
Newcastle United have neglected the fact that they have received negative indications from the player’s entourage and have stepped up their interest this week by approaching AS Monaco over the player.
Abdennour has recently signed a contract extension with Monaco until 2019.
Player isn't interested but we are still trying to bid for him.
Sounds familiar doesn't it?
