Reportedly allowed to leave for nothing
The report from the Mirror states that the France international and the former Bordeaux star is available to leave the Emirates Stadium on a free transfer this summer.
With Newcastle already confirming the signings of Lejeune and Christian Atsu for around a combined £15million, owner Mike Ashley will be hoping Benitez can also tie up a number of bargain deals.
Bringing Debuchy back to Tyneside will help the former Real Madrid manager bring in new signings elsewhere in his squad, as his allocated transfer budget would remain intact.
