Newcastle defender Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa personal terms too rich for Bordeaux

Newcastle United defender Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa has seen a move to Bordeaux fall through.

The Evening Chronicle says Yanga-Mbiwa's proposed move to Bordeaux has broken down over the defender's wage demands, according to sources in France.

Sources in France claim talks over a move have foundered over Yanga-Mbiwa's salary demands, which while modest by Premier League standards dwarf those on offer at all but Paris St Germain and Monaco among Le Championnat clubs.
