Idrissa Gueye has opted to reject the chance to join Newcastle United on loan from Paris Saint-Germain despite initial positive talks.
The former Everton midfielder will be allowed to leave Paris but rejected the offer from Tyneside after being unsure about the move.
Gueye joined the Paris giants from Merseyside in the summer of 2019 for £30million.
Under then-manager Thomas Tuchel, Gueye's PSG career got off to a phenomenal start, with the club winning all of his first eight games without conceding a single goal.
