Marseille are interested in acquiring the services of Issiar Dia, who currently plays for Turkish side Fenerbahce
According to Turkish daily Milliyet, Issiar Dia has caught the eye of Didier Deschamps and the Frenchman wants to bring the player to Marseille.
It has been learnt that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Senegal-c3001 international, who joined Fenerbahce from Nice in 2010, wants to leave before the start of next season.
A close relative of the Senegal international revealed that the departure of Niang has left Dia in a difficult situation and he would want to seek a move away from the club.
“We must recognize that since the departure of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mamadou-Niang-c23292, things have become very difficult for Dia.”
Mamadou Niang was like a mentor for the midfielder and it was Niang who helped him settle at the club when he first arrived.
“The first season was tough for Dia but he managed to do well because Mamadou took him under his wing.”
Istanbul club are ready to listen to the offers for Issiar Dia and Fenerbahce would even consider loaning him out next season. The Turkish outfit has declared that it is expected that the French-born Senegalese footballer would leave the club in summer.
According to reports, the player wants a move back to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 with Marseille as a likely destination. Issiar Dia wants more playing time and that would be very difficult if he stays at Fenerbahce as they already have three players who can play in the same
position.
“A deal is negotiable, they have three players at his position, they have invested a lot of money on him, and the player wants to move back to France as he wants to play in a league he is familiar with.”
Marseille want to take advantage of the situation and Deschamps wants to land the midfielder as early as possible. However, keeping in mind the financial troubles at Marseille, a loan deal would be a more viable option for Les Phoceens.
Issiar Dia has spent two seasons at Fenerbahce when he joined the Istanbul club from Nice in 2010. During his stay in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Turkey-c3026, he managed to make 48 appearances for Fenerbahce scoring 6 goals in the process.
