da betobet: Newcastle United have been told they are free to sign Marseille’s Hatem Ben Arfa after improving their offer for the French winger.
da aposte e ganhe: The Magpies have been on the trail of the 23-year-old wideman throughout the summer but found Marseille unwilling to do business.
Ben Arfa, who has been capped eight times by France, hit out at the Ligue 1 side last week after accusing them of standing in the way of a dream move to the Premier League.
However, following an improved offer from the Magpies, Marseille now claim they are happy for the player to discuss personal terms with the north-east club.
“He will travel to Newcastle tomorrow (Friday),” revealed president Jean-Claude Dassier.
“They have offered to raise the price for the option-to-buy if Hatem plays 25 matches and also pay the five per cent of the cost to FIFA.
“We will respond. After that it’s up to Hatem to agree a deal. We have to finish this story as soon as possible.”
