Running out of time, Les Phoceens have contacted the former Real Madrid men among other shortlisted targets over a possible move to the Velodrome
Time is running out for Ligue 1 giants, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127. The club’s much-publicised financial woes mean that the club needs to sell some members of the current squad in order to generate money that can be used in the transfer market.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786. The reigning European champions will reportedly pay the Canebiere side 8 million euros for the right-back’s services which means
that Les Phoceens have some hope of seeing their transfer market activity take off.
Not many days are left in the Mercato so the Rhone club needs to quickly shortlist candidates who could do well under the management of Elie Baup this season.
Reports claim that the club has been keeping tabs on Valenciennes defender, Gaetan Bong. The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cameroon-c2865 international has been with Les Atheniens since 2009 and could be ready for a move to Marseille where he would get the chance to feature in the Europa League
this season.
Another player shortlisted by Jose Anigo is Algerian international, Djamel Mesbah. The 27-year-old is currently under contract at Italian Serie A side, AC Milan. However, the San Siro giants are willing to let the player leave on loan for this season.
And, the former Lecce full-back is flattered by the interest Marseille have shown in him.
“It’s gratifying to see teams who seem to be interested in me, but I want to stay at Milan and fight for my place,” said the Algerian.
With Mesbah willing to bide his time in Lombardy, Marseille have given a look at other options available to him.
Reports claim that Les Phoceens have also probed Dutchman, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Royston-Drenthe-c31824. The 25-year-old full-back, who can also operate on both flanks is currently a free agent after his contract with Real Madrid expired.
The Dutch star spent last season on loan at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c39043 where he had a successful time. However, it is still unclear if Marseille would want to sign a player who wants at least 3 million euros per annum.
