 Sibierski scored some crucial goals in the Uefa Cup this season |
French striker Antoine Sibierksi has turned down Newcastle's offer of a new one-year contract. The 32-year-old arrived on a free transfer from Manchester City and was hailed by then manager Glenn Roeder as one of biggest bargains of the season.
But Sibierski's agent revealed: "Antoine has been offered one year, but he wants two years.
"He feels he still has two or three years at the highest level, so if they offered two years, he would sign."
He added: "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."
Sibierski scored eight goals in 37 appearances, including vital strikes in the Uefa Cup clashes with Levadia Tallinn, Fenerbahce and Celta Vigo.
He is currently recovering from the broken arm he suffered at Reading on 30 April.
