Hide AdAnd L'Equipe today report that Riviere is a target for Metz.
Newcastle said Riviere had signed a "long-term contract" when he joined in the summer of 2014 in a £6million, but did not disclose the length of the deal.
L'Equipe claim that the former France Under-21 international has just a year left on his United deal.
Riviere has scored three goals for Newcastle, the last of which came against Queens Park Rangers in May 2015.
Benitez is keen to move a number of players, including Riviere, out of the club this summer.
