Olympique de Marseille and Olympique Lyonnais are closely monitoring the young Independiente central defender but the Ligue 1 sides are not the only ones interested in the player
German http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-c11058 Forlan and Biglia; over the past few decades, Argentine giants Independiente have given some truly great players to European football. The Avellaneda-based club has one of the most famous football academies
in Argentina which is regularly monitored by scouts from the Old Continent.
Olympique Lyonnais and Olympique de Marseille are no different either. Emissaries from both these Ligue 1 giants have been sent to South http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/America-c38390 to monitor the latest product of Independiente’s youth academy.
21-year-old Julian Velazquez is widely considered as one of the best young defenders in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Argentina-c2841 at the moment.
One of the agents of the player contacted French media and revealed that scouts from Olympique Lyonnais and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 are very much interested in signing the player and have come to see him.
“People of Marseille follow him, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 is interested and has already come to see him.”
However, the agent has confirmed that there have been no concrete offers placed on the table for the talented player.
“There are no concrete offers and none of these clubs have talked to me.”
The native of Corrientes has been tipped for a great future ahead of him and he has already played one game for the Argentine national side. However, it appears that it is not only the Rhone giants who have been monitoring Velazquez’s progress. Reports claim
that the youngster is also attracting a lot of interest from a host of Italian Serie A sides including Genoa, Inter Milan and Parma.
And, the agent says that Genoa and Parma have made concrete proposals for the 21-year-old.
“There are concrete proposals from Genoa and Parma. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan is monitoring the situation.
With so many clubs willing to spend some cash for his services, Velazquez will indeed be spoilt for choice which means that Marseille and Lyon will have to double their efforts if they want to bring the player to Ligue 1.
