Obafemi Martins is so far digging in his heels at Newcastle United.

Toon have been urged to cash in on Martins to help smooth takeover negotiations with interested parties.

But the Sunday Sun says Martins has snubbed a move to Germany, where he had been coveted by Wolfsburg, and faces being priced out of a move to Spain.

Sevilla have expressed interest in Martins but could pay him only £40,000 a week - barely half what he is on at St James's Park.
