Olympique de Marseille will have to sell Loic Remy or some other star this summer if they are to sign Marvin Martin from Sochaux
Yesterday at a press conference, Olympique de Marseille coach spoke wise words regarding the strength at his disposal this season. “I’ve done with what I’ve had,” said the Frenchman this clearly meaning that he would have had done much better that giving
the team a 10th placed finish if he had players of his choice.
Deschamps has always crossed the line but his ideas seem to have resonated the leaders.
Now, Le Parisien and Le Dauphine Libere claim that the club is positioning itself to sign France international http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marvin-Martin-c24496 from relegation-threatened FC Sochaux.
Yesterday, sporting director Jose Anigo, met with the player’s agent to discuss a possible transfer to the Velodrome this summer.
The playmaker has a profile that Deschamps really wants especially after the departure of Lucho Gonzalez to Porto this January.
However, Les Phoceens are far away from signing a player who is already followed by the likes of LOSC Lille and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130. Furthermore, the two clubs have already stolen the race which means that Marseille are likely to miss out on signing the player.
Even though if they are to convince Martin, Marseille don’t have the finances to carry out a transaction.
However, player sale could offer them some hope. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 international Loic Remy is still under the radar of English Premier League side Tottenham who were interested in January as well. The departure of Remy could give the club ample cash to make a bid for
Martin.
Sochaux want at least 10 million euros for Martin and Marseille can’t pay from their pockets given their financial issues.
Despite his repeated wish to stay at the club for one more season, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 in recent times.
Tottenham made a serious enquiry about Remy this January and if the Spurs are able to secure a fourth-place finish in the league today, the Frenchman might consider joining Harry Redknapp’s side this summer.
