Newcastle United have returned to the negotiating table for Nice wing-back Allan Saint-Maximin.
Having pulled back from talks after Rafa Benitez's departure for Dalian Yifang, Newcastle have now returned with an offer for Saint-Maximin after Steve Bruce's appointment.
With Nice coach Patrick Vieira freezing out the midfielder this preseason, L'Equipe says OGCN have revised their €25m price downwards.
And Newcastle have now tabled an offer of €15m plus bonuses for Saint-Maximin.
For his part, Saint-Maximin is eager to see the move happen.
