http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 to sign a Brazilian striker this winter – Ligue 1 news
With winter transfer window on the horizon, each club in the Ligue 1 is dreaming for a bargain.
Since the beginning of the 2011/2012 season, Olympique de Marseille have been counting a lot on the emergence of Andre Ayew sibling http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jordan-Ayew-c19098 in order to overcome the unavailability and failings of Andre-Pierre Gignac.
However, many people feel that too much is being asked of the young Ghanaian. However, Didier Deschamps is not blinded by the fact and the Frenchman is working behind the scenes in order to bring in a striker.
Reports in French media now suggest that a certain Brazilian striker Cleo has been proposed by scouts to sporting director Jose Anigo.
An atypical player, the Brazilian could be remembered from last season’s Champions League when he was playing for Serbian giants Partizan Belgrade. Cleo scored two goals against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 in the 2010/2011 edition of the UEFA Champions League and it was a surprise when he was ignored by all European clubs in the summer transfer window.
After scoring 22 goals in 41 league games for Partizan, the 26-year-old left for Chinese big spenders Guangzhou Evergrande where he has scored 10 goals in 10 matches – a statistic that clearly shows that the Brazilian has the profile of a prolific goalscorer.
Reports now suggest that Marseille are now looking to bring in the Brazilian on loan from the Chinese club in the upcoming winter transfer window. The Brazilian has failed to settle down at the club and is seeking a return to European football.
The Brazilian joined the Chinese giants for 3.2 million Euros and is playing alongside Dario Conca who is now one of the highest paid players in the world with a salary of 10.4 million Dollars a year.
Reports in French media now suggest that Marseille representatives are already on their way to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Serbia-c3002 in the future.
However, a move to France would not be a first time for Cleo as the Brazilian first arrived in France in the summer of 2008 where he had a trial with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/RC-Lens-c40322.
Unfortunately, the striker was not able to impress scouts at Lens but since then, has come a long way from that disaster and could make a strong impression for Les Phoceens.
