Robert... ...wants out. Laurent Robert wants Newcastle United to let him leave the club on a free transfer after launching yet another broadside at manager Graeme Souness. The temperamental Frenchman seems certain to quit St James' Park in the summer due to his strained relationship with Souness. The winger appeared to signal the end of his Newcastle career on Sunday when he stripped down to his underwear and threw his kit into the crowd after the 1-1 draw with champions Chelsea. Robert admits he does not envisage his future to be on Tyneside after failing to convince Souness to hand him a regular starting spot. He has confirmed he wants to leave the club over the summer and is hoping the Magpies top brass will sanction a free transfer, as he has just 12 months remaining on his contract. The former Paris Saint Germain ace has ruled out a return to France and concedes he currently has no firm offers on the table. A move to Spain is a possibility but the 29-year-old has suggested his preference is to stay in The Premiership after reiterating he is no longer able to work with Souness. "I played for the whole season and, suddenly, nothing else," Robert told L'Equipe. "Souness didn't tell me anything. "But he is a little special coach. He has trouble with a lot of players. It is just like that. "Several clubs have interest in me. It is not concrete yet but I have no worries. "I want to leave Newcastle. Going on with Souness, it is not possible. "We never know what can happen but I don't want to come back to France. There are some contacts in Spain but, above all, in England. "I like The Premiership a lot. My family has adapted well. "I still have one year remaining on my contract but I think the Newcastle officials will let me leave. "I don't play anymore so they don't need me anymore. They should let me go for free. "If they prevent me from leaving I will stay but I don't think it's in the club's interest to pay me for nothing."
