Allan Saint-Maximin is unsettled at Newcastle United amid interest from Tottenham and Chelsea.
The Daily Mail says the French winger is being considered inside Newcastle's board room for a summer sale.
Newcastle need a big cash departure to help them work within financial fair play laws and Saint-Maximin is an option being considered.
The Toon believe they can rake in around £40m for the attacker.
And in the process of Chelsea and Spurs sounding out his availability, Saint-Maximin's head is understood to have been turned by the greater salaries that could be on offer.
Newcastle are aware of the 25-year-old's growing frustration but are restricted by the wage structure they have put in place.
