Revealed: What will happen to this Newcastle forward if club go down
FLORIAN THAUVIN will be sold this summer if Newcastle are relegated from the Premier League, according to reports.
Benitez and Thauvin could both leave Newcastle this summer
Thauvin made a £15million move from Marseille last August but failed to make an impression at St James' Park with just three starts in the Premier League.
And in January the 23-year-old returned to the south of France on loan.
But according to Italian outlet Tuttomercatoweb, Rafa Benitez is keen to bring the player back to the north east and give him a second chance in English football.
Benitez's side face an uphill battle to keep themselves in the top flight of English football.
They are only a point from safety with three matches to go but both Sunderland and Norwich are above them and have a game in hand.
