<\/p>\nNewcastle United<\/a> manager Alan Pardew<\/a> has revealed the club are willing to cash in on wantaway left-back Jose Enrique<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\nPardew has suggested that Enrique is not “focused” on the north-east side, despite having been offered one of the club\u2019s most lucrative contracts, and instead his departure is driven by the lure of Champions League football elsewhere.<\/span><\/p>\nArsenal and Liverpool have been linked with a move for the 25-year-old, with both still on the lookout for a left-back after Gael Clichy\u2019s departure from the Emirates to Manchester City, a deal which the Merseyside club themselves missed out on.<\/span><\/p>\nSpeaking to reporters ahead of Friday\u2019s friendly clash with Darlington, Pardew said: \u201cThere is a slight difference between Joey Barton\u2019s situation, with a year left on his contract, and Jose.<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cJoey seems pretty focused on Newcastle whereas the noises coming out of Jose’s camp are that he wants to get a new club that is playing Champions League football.<\/span><\/p>\n“We cannot offer him that at the moment, so that seems to be his focus.
