The deal will reportedly be worth "beyond £20m with add-ons," writes BBC Sport's Ben Smith.
Smith has more:
"Cabaye will fly to Paris for a medical on Tuesday and will not play a part in [Tuesday's] Newcastle's Premier League game with Norwich."
Newcastle rejected a £14-million bid from PSG for Cabaye on Sunday, and Newcastle manager Alan Pardew wasn't confident the club would be able to keep the midfielder. Turns out, he was right.
Cabaye is currently with the Newcastle squad in Norfolk. But will say his goodbyes in the morning and head for Paris.
