The Belgian club turned down a £2 million bid from Marseille and, even though the player wanted to come to England rather than play in France, Liege were not going to lose out on the money.Newcastle United have confirmed they payed "a significant loan fee" to bring Onyewu to Tyneside, and have an option of deal in the summer to make the move permanent.
