The two Ligue 1 sides have confirmed negotiations with eachother regarding the arrival of the Algerian international to Stade Velodrome in a move that had been on the cards for quite some time
On Sunday evening, while talking to Canal Football Club, Algerian international http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127. The 29-year-old, currently under contract at Valenciennes has been in great form for the club from the Nord since
the start of the current campaign and is probably one of the main reasons why VA have been flying so high in the Championnat.
However, with his current deal set to expire in June 2013, the player’s future at Stade http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Du-c11689 Hainaut has been subjected to a lot of scrutiny with Marseille one of the many sides keen on signing the attacking midfielder.
Although German Bundesliga giants Borussia Monchengladbach are pretty keen on signing the player, it appears that Les Phoceens have almost beaten their German counterparts in the race for the prolific midfielder’s signature.
According to reports in La Provence, the leaders of Olympique de Marseille and Valenciennes have finally concluded an agreement over the transfer of the Algerian star. Although a transfer fee has not been disclosed yet, it should not be very high considering
the fact that Kadir’s contract will expire in about six months time.
However, Les Phoceens faithful will have to wait to see their new signing grace the lawns of Velodrome as Kadir is set to depart for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/South-Africa-c757 where he will be representing the Fennecs in the upcoming African Cup of Nations.
While giving an interview to La Provence, a Marseille employee says that having Kadir in the squad would be a great thing as the Algerian has the ability and versatility to play in three positions and would be a great compliment to the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Morgan-Amalfitano-c26799,
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mathieu-Valbuena-c24690 and Andre Ayew.
The impending arrival of Kadir to the Canebiere club is indeed a great thing for Marseille who despite their limited finances, have been able to complete one of their first signings of the winter before the session.
