Often announced in the viewfinder of LOSC Lille, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127
In his second season at La Liga side Valencia, Argentine international, Tino Costa displays good statistics. The 27-year-old has already scored five goals in 19 games for Los Che and is slowly settling at the club. the Franco-Argentinean is more effective
in front of goal even if he is not given a lot of playing time.
If he is unhappy at his situation at the club, Costa is benefiting from the absence of Ever Banega.
However, his suitors are still hoping for him to change his mind especially in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 where he made a name for himself during his stint with Montpellier Herault. Cadena SER claims that Olympique de Marseille are keen on signing the player. Aware that they
might lose the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mathieu-Valbuena-c24690 and Andre Ayew by the end of the campaign, Les Phoceens are keen on signing Costa.
The Rhone giants’ failure to play in the Champions League next season might result in a player exodus which means that Marseille could have ample money to find good replacements for future departures.
Of course if OM can guarantee him playing time, the former Montpellier man might have second thoughts on arriving at the Velodrome. As things stand, Marseille are in eighth place in the Ligue 1 standings which means that they could altogether miss out on
European football. After playing in Europe consistently since joining Valencia, Costa might have some reservations about playing for a club that can’t guarantee him European football.
Marseille are in the final of the Coupe de la Ligue where they face http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130. Winning the cup would secure Didier Deschamps’ side a place in the Europa League next season which might be their only ticket to European football.
Furthermore, it might be difficult to attract Costa as he will have the option of playing in the Champions League for Valencia next season.
LOSC Lille on the other hand, might consider signing the player especially as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Eden-Hazard-c11863 will leave. Les Dogues have a great chance of playing in the UCL so the northerners could beat Marseille in the race to sign Costa.
