The Valenciennes midfielder has been in great form this season and reports claim that Olympique de Marseille are keen on bringing the Frenchman to Stade Velodrome in a bid to strengthen the ailing midfield
With four goals and four assists in 28 games for Valenciennes in Ligue 1, 27-year-old http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Renaud-Cohade-c30845 can proudly say that he has had a great season for the club. However, the Nord-Pas-de-Calais-based club might not be able to keep hold of the 27-year-old
for long as his contract is set to expire this June.
The Aubenas-born midfielder was recently linked with a return to former club Bordeaux along with AS Saint-Etienne and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130.
L’Equipe now claims that another club is also willing to enter the race for signing the in-form player. the sports daily claims that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 have already approached the player and his representatives.
The former Nimes man is reportedly attracted by the opportunity to don the colours of Les Phoceens even though he might not be an undisputed starter there.
“My future, in all honesty I don’t know. I’m focusing on the end of the season. Nothing is impossible. This does not disturb me. I do not want too much attention,” said the midfielder while talking to La Voix http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Du-c11689 Nord back in February this year.
However, it can be argued that Marseille might have finally convinced the Frenchman to pack his bags and come to Rhone.
Though it still remains to be seen whether the player would actually join Les Phoceens or not, it seems that Marseille’s transfer policy for this summer is clear.
Vincent Labrune and Jose Anigo have decided to go for those players in Ligue 1 whose contracts will expire by the end of the campaign. However, this might not be adequate and sufficient to strengthen the club for next season.
Financial circumstances have forced the Rhone giants to adopt an austerity policy which means that they will not dish out lucrative contracts to players.
Though their finances are not that strong, Marseille should have enough money to buy a few good players this summer from the cash they will receive from the possible sales of the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mathieu-Valbuena-c24690.
