New details of Allan Saint-Maximin bid go public - Transfer fee and contract offer from Al-Ahli

Some conflicting claims have emerged on the fee Al-Ahli could be set to pay for Allan Saint-Maximin; who looks set to leave St James' Park for Saudi Arabia following Eddie Howe's comments last night.

From France, L’Equipe and RMC Sport report that we've been offered €25m (£21.5m) plus bonuses for the winger, with both reporting that a €12m per-season salary has been sent the player's way, allowing ASM to earn around £200,000-a-week.

Elsewhere, The Mail's Craig Hope claims we are in talks over a deal worth £30m; perhaps the total amount when you factor in the 'bonuses' mentioned by L'Equipe and RMC Sport? Either way, it looks like the former Nice star is heading for the exit door and set to be replaced by Leicester's Harvey Barnes.

The Frenchman could join former Chelsea stopper Édouard Mendy and ex-Liverpool star Roberto Firmino at Al-Ahli, with the Saudi side also working on a deal for Man City winger Riyah Mahrez.

Speaking after last night's 2-1 win at Rangers, Howe said: “He’s in discussions re a move. With FFP we have to trade, otherwise we would be stuck this summer. I don’t want to lose him. FFP forces it, to a degree. It looks like it will happen. Sometimes these things have to happen for club to grow”
