A lot of Newcastle United fans have flocked to Twitter to share their dismay at the latest claim to emerge on the future of Benoit Badiashile.
According to L’Equipe, the Toon are still locked in negotiations with Monaco for the centre-back having recently had a €40m (£33.4m) bid rejected.

The report does, however, claim Monaco may not have ‘closed the door’ on a potential departure for the 20-year-old defender this month, but the Magpies’ bid was below their expectations.
Eddie Howe’s side now have less than two weeks to address their squad in this month’s transfer window and still find themselves in search of a new centre-back.
What did these Newcastle fans have to say?
“That’s insane for a 20 year old in the french league”
With the Toon said to still be working on the potential signing of Diego Carlos, it seems frustrations are growing among these Newcastle fans.
And it is not surprising when the Tyneside club are still finding themselves struggling to get the results needed and seeing Norwich City climb above them in the fight against relegation.
