Newcastle United striker Antoine Sibierski could be heading out of St James' Park after rejecting the offer of a new one-year contract.
The 32-year-old Frenchman made 39 appearances for the Magpies following last summer's free transfer switch from Manchester City and had been hoping to be offered a two-year deal.
Sibierski's agent, Willie McKay, said: "Antoine has been offered a one-year deal, but he wants two years.
"His wife and family are still based in Manchester, and it would be a big upheaval to move and change schools for one year.
"At the moment, he has been offered one year and he is looking elsewhere.
"If he were to be offered two years, his preference is to sign for Newcastle.
"At this stage of his career, he feels he still has two or three years at the highest level, so if they came up with a two-year deal, he would sign it gladly."
