The Magpies have reportedly increased their valuation of Sissoko to £35million in a bid to ward off interested suitors but Benitez says there is no asking price for the 26-year-old France global who they hold in high esteem as they prepare for the 2016/17 in the Championship.

Moussa Sissoko may have his wish to leave Newcastle United granted as L’Equipe is reporting the French global is close to completing a move to Borussia Dortmund.
Arsenal are Betway’s 3/1 (4.0) joint favourites to snap up Sissoko and a move to north London may well appeal to the player, given the guarantee of Champions League football during the forthcoming season, while Sissoko would also be under the tutelage of fellow countryman, Arsene Wenger.
“I’m disappointed because they didn’t win, but happy because of his performances”.
“We hope Rafa Benitez and Newcastle will be more reasonable again so we can resolve Moussa’s future”. We have to be open to offers if somebody is interested.
His quality, pace, strength and devastatingly-direct runs from deep came as no surprise to me, being a Newcastle fan.
Sissoko is available for Dortmund to buy, but Newcastle are demanding £35m for the midfielder, who impressed recently with a stellar showing at Euro 2016 for France.
Being reported as “breaking” news by L’Equipe, they say that talks have taken place and the Newcastle midfielder is set to move to the Bundesliga. “I hope that it will be as early as possible”, he told L’Equipe.
“It is one of the issues that we are talking about with Milan. we’re not in Europe and I want to play the Champions League”. There will be discussions.

“I want to continue my career in England, at a club that plays in the Champions League because I think this best fits my style of play”.
