The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Eden-Hazard-c11863 transfer fee
The transfer of Eden Hazard to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 for a fee believed to be in the region of 40 million euros means that LOSC Lille have lost the best player in Ligue 1. However, Les Dogues do not seem to be that worried by the loss as the cash they have received for
the transfer, has given them a lot of financial flexibility for the summer transfer window.
Already, Rudi Garcia has been able to convince http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marvin-Martin-c24496 into joining the club for 10 million euros. However, the arrival of the midfielder from Sochaux does not signal an end to the club’s transfer activity.
Le Parisien claims that the Mastiffs are now keen on making a move for Olympique de Marseille star striker Loic Remy. The 25-year-old missed out on a spot in the France team for Euro 2012 due to injury and has been linked with a move away from the Velodrome
for quite some time now.
Les Phoceens are currently embroiled in a financial crisis and have been forced to slash down their wage bill. In order to do that, President Vincent Labrune knows that he must sell a few top players at the club.
The daily newspaper claims that Lille coach Rudi Garcia has made signing Loic Remi his top priority. Reports claim that contacts have already been established with the player and his entourage.
Though Remy is more inclined towards a foreign experience (Tottenham Hotspur are still interested in him), the striker might reconsider his stance. The departure of Harry Redknapp from the Spurs could mean that the new manager might not bring the player
to White Hart Lane.
Furthermore, the London club will not be playing Champions League football next season while Lille have a chance to qualify for the competition via playoffs. And, Remy will want to feature in the Champions League next season.
The project at Lille would certainly sound enticing to Remy. The Grande Stade de Lille would be the club’s new home next season and it will surely further raise the club’s profile.
Marseille want 20 million Euros for the player and Lille might be able to get their man.
