If Olympique de Marseille are not living in the best of times, Nicolas N’Koulou’s star is certainly rising high and handsome. Reports claim that the young defender is now under the radar of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604
Judging by the way things are going these days, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 are in deep trouble. Languishing in ninth place in Ligue 1 standings, Les Phoceens are sure to miss out on next season’s UEFA Champions League. Moreover, the way the team is performing
these days, qualification for the Europa League also seems to be highly unlikely.
The current season has shown all that is negative about the club along with a few positive things. One of those things is their young defender Nicolas N’Koulou. The centre-back was signed from AS Monaco last summer and in his first season with the Rhone
club, has become an integral part of the side.
“I feel ashamed, not just disappointment. It’s hard but it must be said. The mood, attitude, envy. We did nothing. I know we can do better but we did not. It’s hard to live this. We took a big blow behind the head.”
Disturbed after the defeat at the hands of Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarterfinal, N’Koulou was certainly hurt by the manner of the defeat.
However, the youngster’s statements can also lead him to think about his future at the club. the Cameroonian is a rising star and his courtiers are many.
The likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan and AC Milan are already monitoring his progress. However, the list continues to grow for the 22-year-old.
According to Infosport +, La Liga giants Barcelona FC are also impressed with the rapid rise of the defender, an interest, which if verified, would be more flattering and not as utopian as it seems.
The Catalan giants are keen on singing more than one centre-back this summer. Already, Barca are keeping tabs on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-Silva-c34903 (AC Milan).
Recruited from Monaco last summer for just 3.5 million Euros, the Yaoundé-born defender’s market value is believed to be around 12 million Euros which means that Marseille might also be willing to cash in on the gifted player given their financial situation.
