The Olympique de Marseille striker is willing to spend another season at the Velodrome but could be tempted with a move to Sports Direct Arena this summer
Newcastle United have made French Ligue 1 their favourite shopping destination. First it was http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Yohan-Cabaye-c37423 who was bought from LOSC Lille last summer. The midfielder has been an instant hit at the club. a year before his arrival, the Magpies had secured the
services of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hatem-Ben-Arfa-c15884 from Olympique de Marseille.
The 25-year-old winger has been quite a revelation so far and it now appears that the English Premier League entertainers are looking to once again conduct their transfer business in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899.
Reports in Le 10 Sport claim that the Toon may have directly contacted the Olympique de Marseille management over the possible sale of striker Loic Remy. Reports further claim that the English side are willing to give Les Phoceens 12 million euros for the
former OGC Nice striker who missed out on the Euros due to injury.
The residents of St. James’ Park are already anticipating the departure of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Demba-Ba-c10812 and see Remy as a perfect replacement for the former West Ham United striker.
However, reports claim that Olympique de Marseille president, Vincent Labrune has rejected Newcastle’s initial offer and is adamant that he will not let the player leave for anything less than 18 million euros.
Although the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 man does not intend to leave Stade Velodrome this summer, a challenge at Newcastle could prove to be too alluring and exciting at the same time. Loic Remy was initially touted for a move to Tottenham Hotspur but Harry
Redknapps’ sacking changed the picture.
Reports claim that fellow Ligue 1 outfit, Lille, are also keeping tabs on the 25-year-old striker which means that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127, who are in dire need of cash this summer, will not be short of suitors for one of their main players.
New Marseille coach, Elie Baup, wants Remy to be in the squad next season but knows that selling the player could free up a lot of cash which could make ends meet for the club.
