Obertan, Marveaux released by Newcastle


Official News (PR)
Gabriel Obertan and Sylvain Marveaux have left Newcastle United by mutual consent.
Former Manchester United winger Obertan, who has battled a hamstring problem for much of the season, has not played since the 2-2 draw with Chelsea in September.
Marveaux spent last season on loan with Guingamp in Ligue 1 and has not played for the senior Newcastle side this term, making the matchday squad on just two occasions.
Both players' contracts were due to expire at the end of the season but, with neither set to be involved in the final two Premier League games, they have agreed to terminate their deals.
"Newcastle United can confirm that Gabriel Obertan and Sylvain Marveaux have left St James' Park by mutual consent," a club statement released on Thursday read.
"The contracts of the French pair were due to expire this summer, but with them almost certainly not going to feature in the Magpies' remaining games of the 2015-16 season, a settlement was agreed earlier this week, allowing them to find new clubs.
"Everyone at Newcastle United wishes Gabriel and Sylvain the very best for the future."

Newcastle United loanee could move to Leicester City
Italian media outlet La Roma 24 is reporting that Seydou Doumbia’s agent has responded to comments that the striker could be set for a possible move to Leicester City this summer.
Doumbia joined Newcastle United during the January transfer window on a loan deal from Roma until the end of the season with view to permanent move.
But it appears increasingly unlikely that the striker will get the permanent deal at St James Park, after only getting on the pitch for a total of 29 minutes during his time at the club so far.
Speaking about Doumbia’s future and the Leicester rumours his agent Jean Bernard Beytrison said “I don’t know. Let’s see. I’ve still not been contacted by the club.”
He added: “Next week I will go to Switzerland and we will analyse the situation to figure out what we want to do.”
The Leicester fans in The Tavern do not think signing Doumbia would be a good move for the club and feel there are better options available to the club at this time!
Our landlord feels that Doumbia is a lethal striker on his day, but simply isn’t consistent enough, so thinks a move to Leicester City would be a bad move all round!
