Montpellier by club president Louis Nicollin is ready to sell Remy Cabella to an English club - though not to Newcastle United.
The outspoken owner urged the player he should try and seal a move to Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea or Arsenal, but to avoid joining Newcastle.
"Newcastle? They're good, aren't they?
"Don't make me laugh. In England, you should play at Arsenal or Chelsea or either of the Manchester teams at a push.
"We promised to let him leave. But I'll advise him not to leave for just anywhere.
"I wouldn't prevent him from leaving but he's not made for that. He must find a good French club [like] Monaco or PSG.
"Remember all the big players. First of all, they left their team, they went to a bigger French club and then they left [France] and had their career.
"Remy should do the same."
