The loan deal is for a season, with the option to buy the French international in the summer.
That isn't going to happen now, and as the player is under contract, he will return to Tyneside.
It seems obvious that Alan Pardew knows he cannot get the best out of him, so a parting of the ways will suit all parties.
And we hear that there are irons in the fire for a deal as Marveaux is on the radar of a clutch of clubs from Russia and Ligue 1, but they all want him for NOTHING.
But Newcastle wouldn't lose anything because he arrived in June (a day after the signing of Demba Ba) on a free transfer from French club Rennes.
He was hit with home-sickness right from the start of his contract at Newcastle and took months to settle and push for a first team place.
Then when he got in the team he was immediately injured.
