Newcastle United
On 11 January 2016, Bordeaux manager Willy Sagnol confirmed that he gave Saivet permission to leave the club. Later that day Saivet officially signed a five-and-half year contract with Newcastle United, joining for a reported fee of £5 million.
Saint-Étienne
After playing just four matches starting twice in half a season with Newcastle United, Saivet joined AS Saint-Étienne on a season-long loan on 23 August 2016 without a purchase option given to Saint-Étienne.
