In lack of solutions for the left-back position, Olympique de Marseille is interested in the Nigerian Zaidu Sanusi. The Marseille club could soon send a transfer offer for the FC Porto defender.
The situation is becoming urgent at Olympique de Marseille. About to engage with the recent third in Ligue 1, the midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia arrives in a sector already well supplied. Other positions are much less so in Marcelino’s squad, starting with the left-back position. Remember that the Marseille club did not wish to keep Nuno Tavares following his loan.

The Portuguese Espoirs international, often criticized for his defensive oversights, has been returned to Arsenal. And to make matters worse, theOlympic Marseille has just noted the imminent departure of Sead Kolasinac. The versatile defender is coming to the end of his contract. But the Olympian management believed that their discussions would lead to an agreement. The former Gunner, unhappy with the Marseille offer, preferred to approach Atalanta Bergamo.
Porto don’t hold him back
If we consider that Jordan Amavi, back on loan from Getafe, is still not in management’s plans, Marcelino has no real solution to the left-back position. It is therefore a priority file for President Pablo Longoria who is active on the track Zaidu Sanusi. According to several Portuguese media, theOlympic Marseille could send an offer to FC Porto in the coming days.
The 26-year-old Nigerian had extended until 2027 last October, with a release clause of 50 million euros. But the Record source claims the Dragons are willing to negotiate a lower amount. Zaidu Sanusi has indeed lost his starting place during the season and could also open the door to Marseilleswhere he had found the net during a success at the Vélodrome in the Champions League (2-0) in November 2020.
