The Olympique de Marseille full-back may be the first player to leave Stade Velodrome this summer with English Premier League the Spaniard’s most likely destination
When the summer transfer window opened in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127. The 25-year-old striker has attracted a lot of interest from English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur in the past.
However, with the sacking of Harry Redknapp, the idea of signing the French striker has been foregone as new manager, Andre-Villas Boas wants to build a team of his choice.
Now, it appears that Loic Remy will stay put at the Velodrome and will spearhead the Marseille attack next season under new coach, Elie Baup.
Although Remi might stay, the same cannot be said of other players, starting with Cesar Azpilicueta. The Spanish full-back, was one of the bright lights of an otherwise poor season for Les Phoceens. The youngster has already expressed his desire to leave
the club this summer and it appears that he will be the first one to pack up this summer.
Valued between 8 and 10 million euros, the defender’s transfer could materialise within the next 48 hours according to La Provence. However, this transfer is fraught with pitfalls. OM were unable to meet with the player’s representatives on time.
But, Jose Anigo has met the a representative from an unnamed club that’s interested in Azpilicueta’s services.
Reports claim that European champions Chelsea are in pole position to attain the services of the talented full-back. The London club’s manager, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Di Matteo is a big fan of the youngster and the Spaniard would also not be against the idea of joining
the English giants who have invested heavily this summer.
However, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mathieu-Debuchy-c24682 for a long time but have not been able to meet the Ligue 1 side’s valuation for the player.
Newcastle are willing to offer just 5 million euros for the France international which means that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alan-c4244 Pardew’s side might turn their attention towards Azpilicueta who will surely be tempted by the project at the Sports Direct Arena.
