Still without a manager following Igor Tudor’s decision to step down from his role at Marseille, the Ligue 1 club are tracking Marcelino.
However, should the Spaniard take over, he might have to make do without Mattéo Guendouzi, whom the French side see as a good option for a hefty sale.
The midfielder was of interest to the likes of West Ham United during the January transfer window, and with Declan Rice set to leave for a record fee, they would have the money to convince Marseille, as explained by L’Equipe on Thursday.
David Moyes will need a replacement for the England international, and it seems the Frenchman is on his list of candidates.
The newspaper explain Guendouzi remains one of the best options to make some money, and both the club and the former Arsenal starlet’s entourage ‘are hoping for a good offer’ from West Ham once Declan Rice is sold.
Whether that happens remains to be seen, but with those around the Marseille man wanting it to happen, there has to have been signs of some sort from the Hammers.
We just have to wait for West Ham to sell Rice to the highest bidder now.
