Just in case you weren’t fully convinced that Moussa Dembélé really was a target for Marseille, another outlet in France has confirmed the interest.
The Celtic striker appears to be the Ligue 1 side’s backup to Mario Balotelli, whose negotiations with the Rudi Garcia’s team fell through last week, but there’s little time to get a deal done.
With the transfer window shutting in less than three days, and having recently announced the arrival of Kevin Strootman from AS Roma, the French club are still on the lookout for a new striker, even if their public stance appears to be different.
Foot Mercato in France claim they’re ‘able to confirm‘ what has been reported elsewhere: Marseille very recently enquired about the Celtic forward’s situation.
This follows claims from L’Equipe that Brendan Rodgers’ side aren’t all that keen on a sale so late in the transfer window, even if most of the stories suggest €15-20m would be enough to change the Scottish Premiership champions’ mind.
The next three days are bound to be interesting, that’s for sure.
