Club make offer for Celtic player – Sporting director in talks with him personally

Celtic’s Olivier Ntcham has been linked with string of options to leave Neil Lennon’s side before the transfer window closes on Monday.

There’s been claims of several loan offers from clubs around Europe, with multiple sides interested in the Premier League. Marseille have also been pulled into the picture, with it being thought the Ligue 1 side are keen on the player.

French journalist Loic Tanzi now reports Marseille have made a loan offer for the Celtic man, something which would put them in a similar position to other clubs. Nantes have also made moves for Ntcham, however their Ligue 1 rivals are thought to be ahead.

So hard are Marseille trying to sign the Celtic player before the window closes this evening, that their sporting director Pablo Longoria has already held direct talks with Ntcham.

Celtic’s position on the potential transfer hasn’t been shared by the journalist. RMC are backing up the claims, and they say the player hopes the move can be sorted out before the window closes.

Olivier Ntcham has a contract with Celtic lasting until June 2022.
