Very eager to exit Swansea after a pretty poor season in Wales, Bafétimbi Gomis is actually the one who is holding up his own transfer because of his wages.
The French striker is apparently very much in favour of a loan to Marseille, who are in desperate need for a goalscorer that isn’t 20-year-old Antoine Rabillard, but L’Equipe say his €5m/year deal with Swansea is the stumbling block at this moment in time.
Having sold Michy Batshuayi to Chelsea and decided not to offer a contract to Steven Fletcher, now at Sheffield Wednesday, the Ligue 1 club have put themselves in the precarious position of having very few options up front.
The former Lyon and Saint-Etienne striker has already proven himself in his home country, and the experience he would bring would be incredible for a weakened squad that finished 14th last season.
That being said, he might have to ask Swansea nicely if they could pay some of his salary for the coming season if he wants his move.
