Leeds United goalkeeper Illan Meslier is being linked with a move to Marseille
Marseille are preparing to make a move for a new goalkeeper as their current number one Pau Lopez nears a departure for Como. The French club have already made their interest in Leeds United shot-stopper Illan Meslier known to the player and his representatives, amid talk of an impending transfer bid.
That figure has not ended Marseille's approach, however it now looks like they may have turned their priorities elsewhere for a new first choice target, with RC Lens keeper Brice Samba identified as the preferred option if a deal can be agreed according to L'Equipe. Former Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Samba would offer Marseille more experience and would come at a price much less than what Leeds want for Meslier.
