Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa Transfer to Bordeaux Falls Through Amid Uncertainty
Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, once sidelined at Newcastle United and no longer in the plans of the Magpies’ coaching staff, appeared to be heading for Bordeaux. However, recent reports suggest that the French club has abandoned hopes of signing the defender.
According to Webgirondins, Bordeaux has withdrawn from the pursuit due to unclear signals from Newcastle regarding the player’s availability, making the deal increasingly unlikely.
Local outlet Sud Ouest adds that Bordeaux is now turning its attention to other priorities in the transfer market, particularly the search for a new left-back to replace Maxime Poundjé, who remains the club’s only regular option in that position. Meanwhile, midfielder Alou Diarra could remain with the Girondins for the upcoming season.
The situation leaves Yanga-Mbiwa’s immediate future uncertain as Newcastle continues to weigh their options.
