Keen to build a strong squad for next season, Rudi Garcia has now shown interest in Olympique de Marseille’s Rod Fanni who is keen to leave Stade Velodrome
Out of contract in June 2013, France international http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127. The versatile defender has an option of extending his stay with the Rhone side or seek pastures new.
The 30-year-old is spoiled for choice and is attracting interest from a lot of Ligue 1 clubs including Lille.
Loic Remy is not the only Marseille player who is attracting interest from Lille. According to French media, Les Dogues are also considering making a move for Rod Fanni in case http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mathieu-Debuchy-c24682 leaves the club.
The 26-year-old is attracting a lot of interest from English and Spanish sides and could leave Lille this summer.
Though Fanni is in Rudi Garcia’s good books, a formal bid is yet to be made which means that it is not certain whether the player will leave the Velodrome.
His agent, Dominique Six says that it is highly likely that Fanni extends his contract at the club.
“The club is considering an extension for Rod. He was a good player all year, I think Rod has become an important player and he wants to stay, but with a real executive status.”
The former Stade Rennais man has proven his versatility during his time at the Canebiere club but was used sparingly last season.
Though Olympique de Marseille are not able to sign players as long as they don’t sell a few, they know that it is very important to retain a player of Fanni’s stature. The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 international’s presence would be very crucial to the club next season.
Reports claim that Cesar Azpilicueta is set to leave the Velodrome this summer which means that Fanni will get a lot of chances to prove his worth again.
Lille on the other hand, have the financial means to venture for a right-back elsewhere.
However, a few days back, Fanni expressed his desire to play abroad. Clubs from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 are interested in the player’s services which means that Lille will have to speed things up if they want to sign the player.
