Olympique de Marseille tempted to make a move for Diego Milito - Ligue 1 news
Reports in French media suggest that Ligue 1 side http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-Milito-c11166 in the upcoming winter transfer window.
The veteran striker is currently on the books of beleaguered Italian Serie A giants Inter Milan where he has been largely restricted to a substitute role under new manager Claudio Ranieri.
The face of the Olympique de Marseille attack is looking to be reshaped this winter with rumours circulating in the capital regarding the future of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 international Andre-Pierre Gignac.
The 25-year-old striker was signed from Toulouse in the summer of 2010 and has not been able to justify his hefty price-tag. Reports now suggest that Les Phoceens are now ready to offload the out-of-sorts striker in order to finance a move for a new striker.
Furthermore, Andre Ayew and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ghana-c2905 national team in the upcoming African Cup of Nations.
This would leave Didier Deschamps with only Loic Remy as the main striker. Le Parisien suggests that Marseille have already enquired Inter Milan over the availability of Diego Milito. Though at the age of 32, Milito’s best days might be long gone, Marseille
are still up for making a move for the Argentine.
Milito is already behind the pecking order in the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-c11058 Forlan and Pazzini.
It has been rumoured that Marseille might try to bring the striker on loan initially and would consider signing him on a permanent basis based on his performances.
However, a loan move would still be a costly investment for the Rhone giants who are still under a lot of financial stress.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-Quagliarella-c13194 of Juventus and Iaquinta have also been named as possible targets for Marseille which means that Gignac’s transfer in the winter transfer window would initiate Marseille to sign at least one striker.
Currently lying in 8th place in Ligue 1 standings, Marseille are in dire need of a quality striker who can pair up with Loic Remy so that the club is able to compete for a place in the Champions League.
