Sochaux have told Newcastle United they won't sell Modibo Maiga to them today.
They wanted Leeds United's Max Gradel but he has opted for their Ligue 1 rivals St Etienne and that means Sochaux are not planning on letting Maiga leave.
"If we had found a successor, he would have gone," Sochaux chairman Alexander Lacombe said, admitting he could instead leave in January.
"If we find a replacement in December then, yes he could leave in the winter."
