The Magpies needed to sell Minteh to comply with the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability deadline on 30 June.
The two clubs have agreed a fee of around £40 million for the 19-year-old, but he is not interested.
He would rather remain in the Premier League, as he has a long-term Newcastle contract.
