# Cabella could join Marseille permanently

Newcastle have sent a delegation to Marseille to meet Florian Thauvin and escort him to Tyneside ahead of a medical tomorrow, according to [Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11678/9954551/newcastle-in-talks-to-sign-marseilles-florian-thauvin). As part of the deal, Remy Cabella will be joining Marseille.

Cabella arrived on Tyneside last summer for a reported £12million, but has failed to live up to his hefty price-tag – with just one goal and two assists in 31 appearances last campaign.

While he was initially expected to join the Ligue 1 outfit on a season-long loan with a view to permanent, the clubs have reportedly agreed an £8million fee for the permanent transfer of the 25-year-old, as per [The Chronicle](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/florian-thauvin-move-edges-closer-9875206).

His transfer fee will be deducted from Thauvin’s meaning Newcastle’s total outlay will be roughly £4million.

Meanwhile, fringe duo [Haris Vuckic and Mehdi Abeid are set for exits](https://readnewcastle.com/2015/08/18/mehdi-abeid-nears-exit-door/) , with the latter currently in Greece looking to finalise a £250,000 move to Panathinaikos, while the former has attracted attention from former club Rangers.
