A loan deal to Marseille looks very likely, whilst Lazio are also interested in the Frenchman. The French media had been saying Marseille simply couldn’t get the finances together for a deal, but the will is certainly there.
According to French newspaper L’Equipe, Thauvin is ready to take a wage cut to sign for Marseille this week, but Newcastle want to sell him permanently. It is reported Lazio are still interested in Thauvin, and a deal before the end of this week looks unlikely.
Yesterday, L’Equipe reported Vincent Labrune met Thauvin’s representatives on Thursday to hold negotiations, and to get a deal done. It’s worth pointing out Thauvin took a wage cut to sign for Marseille in January, and the player is willing to do it again.
