Midfielder Joey Barton<\/a> has denied that he has been offered a new contract by Newcastle United<\/a> on his Twitter<\/em> account on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old is reportedly set to exit St James’ Park after he failed to agree on terms for a new deal at the club with only a year left on his contract.<\/p>\n

Barton who joined the club from Manchester City in 2007 for a \u00a35.8million fee previously expressed his happiness with the Magpies and said that he wanted to extend his contract in February even if it
meant a drop in wages.<\/p>\n

Boss Alan Pardew told the BBC<\/em> in December that he fully supported Barton\u2019s stay at Newcastle. However, the midfielder suggested in posts on Twitter that he has not been offered a new contract yet.<\/p>\n

\u201dIf am not offered a new contract, my hands are tied. I will continue to do everything in my power to bring a trophy to St James next season<\/p>\n

\u201dI am an employee so have to be careful here. Everyone knows I’d love to stay, I get on with Pardew fine and are dressing room is 1st class.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201d(…)slight problem is, they dont want to spend any money or pay any wages. It’s genius really ha ha\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201dI will tell all when the time is right, basically they want a younger, better, cheaper player (…) can\u2019t blame Mike Ashley and Derek Llambias can you?\u201d<\/p>\n
