The standoff between Paris Saint-Germain and Hatem Ben Arfa looks set to continue, as the former Newcastle United star has reportedly been forced to train with the reserve squad after a summer exit did not come to fruition.
According to French daily L'Equipe (h/t The Sun's Joe Miles), Ben Arfa refused to leave Les Parisiens as long as the club did not pay the full value of what is left from his contract, amounting to the sum of £6 million.
A deal with Nice that would have brought star midfielder Jean-Michael Seri to the capital fell through as a result, further damaging the relationship between the club and the 30-year-old.
