The Senegal international has a clause in his contract which would allow him to leave the Magpies if an offer of over £7million came in for his services.
Pardew is resigned to losing his star striker, but admits that decision is out of his hands.
He said: "It's unfortunate that the contract he has leaves open a lot of questions because we have this clause and every window that comes around, I have to answer the same questions.
"It would be disappointing for him to leave in this window for this club and for his team-mates here, but the decision will be his, ultimately, because that clause is there.
"The most important things we have got with Demba is he is someone who is a goalscorer and he is scoring goals, and that's very, very important to a side. His commitment to and work-rate for the team, I don't fault."
