Newcastle United want £25 million to sell Yohan Cabaye this week.
The Mirror says Toon owner Mike Ashley rejected a £14m approach from Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday, as the first solid move for the French play-maker this month unfolded.
The Geordies will be reluctant sellers even IF the price is right, and are now testing PSG's desire to land their star man.
However, there will be no bidding war involving Manchester United yet - Newcastle sources say there has not been an inquiry from Old Trafford so far.
