The Magpies have been eager to snap up the Frenchman on a pre-contract, with his current deal in France expiring at the end of the current campaign.
The Ligue 1 club have been wary of allowing the player to leave on a free transfer in the summer, but their 3million euro asking price has proved a stumbling block between the two clubs in negotiating any potential January move.
Les Pitchouns have thus suspended the player until a resolution can be reached, with Toulouse coach Alain Casanova describing the decision as 'logical'.
"The whole club shows full solidarity to that chairman's decision," Toulouse coach Alain Casanova told L'Equipe.
"It is really a shame a player educated at the club could leave as free agent. His absence is big loss for the team, but that decision is logical."
