Newcastle United manager Graham Souness has insisted that Laurent Robert will not be let go on a free transfer.

The French-winger wanted to be let go on a free but Souness has denied he will be let go for nothing after the club paid so much for him.

 

Souness said:

 

"It is up to the chairman to decide how much he wants to sell Laurent Robert for, but what I will say is, if he wants to go for a free, does that mean nobody wants to buy him?

"I can't say that his Newcastle career is over because there might not be a buyer for him.

"If he isn't sold he will return for pre-season training like everybody else. It's the same for Craig Bellamy and Hugo Viana. If they are not sold they will come back here for training."
