Olympique De Marseille Seeking Raul Meireles, Luis Fabiano Or Alberto Gilardino – Report
OM are setting their sights high in the transfer market...

According to a report in L’Equipe, Ligue 1 champions Olympique de Marseille are seeking a marquee signing this summer and are presently examining the possibility of signing a number of renowned international players.

Though les Phoceens have previously stated that there will be no great overhaul of their first team squad, also indicating their funds are limited this summer, the French press continues to link OM with stars such as Sevilla’s Luis Fabiano, Porto’s Raul Meireles and Fiorentina’s Alberto Gilardino.

Already Gilardino, who has been associated with the Provence club for several weeks, seems to have distanced himself from a move to Marseille and France in general, while it would seem very doubtful that Didier Deschamps’ side would have the financial muscle to wrest Luis Fabiano from a Sevilla side heading towards the Champions League next season.

The track to Raul Meireles seems the easiest to negotiate and could be smoothed by the fact that the Portuguese, who is enjoying a fine World Cup, is close friends with OM playmaker Lucho Gonzalez.

Interesting, La Provence also links the 27-year-old with a potential move to France, and since Porto have failed to qualify for the Champions League they may be willing vendors.

Marseille would surely have to beat off stiff competition for Meireles should they decide to make a move, and that in itself would prove a significant obstacle for a club hardly awash with funds at present.
