Lyon have accepted Newcastle United's £7million transfer bid for Bafetimbi Gomis.

However, as reported this morning on ChronicleLive, there are still add on fees and payments to Gomis' representatives.

Reports in France this morning indicated that Lyon were prepared to accept Newcastle’s offer and offload Gomis.



And Lyon president Jean Michel Aulas said: "We have accepted the proposal of Newcastle, which is eight million euros (£7million), plus two million bonus.

"The agreement is now linked to the acceptance of agents' fees.

"I understand that the problem is in the amount and manner of payment of commissions."

It is another twist in the tale in the Gomis deal after Lyon went public on Monday to say United had ended their interest.

But Newcastle had merely told Lyon they weren't going to up the bid that was slapped in last weekend.

Gomis has just one year left on his contract and personal terms aren’t thought to be a problem between United and the player.

The player is thought to be desperate to join United's French legion.
