According to Aujourd’hui En France, Bordeaux remain interested in Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa and the Newcastle centre back is their top target this summer. This is despite President Jean-Louis Triaud’s claims last week that the player’s wage demands were too high.
Yanga-Mbiwa has been playing on Tyneside for 18 months now and has failed to solidify as first team place at the club.
The player is also interesting Marseille and talks between the Frenchman’s agent and the club remain ongoing.
