The French outfit is keen on retaining the English midfielder at the club, who has proved himself as a valuable asset to the club. Meanwhile, the club is also willing to let go of France international, Loic Remy, who is a January transfer target
for several clubs.
Joey Barton seems to have his perfect match in the form of French outfit, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127. The Englishman is not only happy at the club, but is also displaying performances while playing for the club. Moreover, the club has finally decided to let
go of striker, Loic Remy, who has been strongly linked with several European clubs for a possible transfer.
The club’s sporting director, Jose Anigo described the situation on behalf of the club, stating that signing Barton on-loan from Queens Park Rangers was a good move. The midfielder proved to settle at the club in a short matter of time, and has been a reliable
performer for Les Phoceens. He said:
“He's dragging our team upwards with his competitive spirit. He's in the process of becoming a leader in the squad and is very happy here. Maybe he's at last found the club of his life.”
Marseille are reportedly interested in making the Englishman’s stay permanent at the Stade Velodrome, since QPR are willing to terminate their contract with the player.
While speaking about http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 international, Loic Remy, the director stated that the player had been injury prone in the past, but he’s working hard to make a comeback. The striker exhibits a great deal of talent, but the injury problems have really slowed
down his progress. Anigo explained:
“If a big club comes in for him and he's interested then we'll see at that point in time. For the moment nobody is leaving. Rémy's succession of injuries have undermined him, as did missing the Euro through injury. But I think he's come back to his level
and I see that in training.”
The Frenchman went on to state that the club is willing to part ways with the French striker provided the right offer comes in. The former Olympique de Marseille coach is confident that the club has a talented squad including players like Andre-Pierre Gignac
and the Ayew brothers. However, they would try and sign a winger provided the 26-year-old departs the Ligue 1 outfit. The director stated:
“If he goes then we will sign a wide player. In the middle, with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jordan-Ayew-c19098, we are armed.”
