Marseille Interested In Signing Ex Lazio Forward From Inter Milan | OneFootball

Marseille are interested in signing Inter Milan forward Joaquin Correa.

This according to Sky Sport Italia transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio, who reports on his homepage that the Ligue 1 side have made contact with the 29-year-old’s representatives but not yet with the Nerazzurri.

Correa may finally get a move away from Inter after sticking around all summer.

There is little doubt that the Nerazzurri would be happy to find a new club for the former Lazio man. He has little place in the project going forward.

However, there has been no real movement for much of the summer, despite rumours of Saudi Pro League interest.

But that has changed in the past few days.

Reportedly, Inter have changed their stance on Correa – they will listen to loan offers for the Argentine international.

And this has seemingly opened the floodgates. If few teams showed any interest in signing Correa on a permanent transfer, the prospect of getting him on loan evidently has more appeal.

A number of teams have come forward with interest in Correa over the past few days.

These have included Torino, Real Betis, and Bournemouth.

RB Leipzig have also inquired regarding the possibility of signing the 29-year-old. And Lille have also reportedly made contact with Correa’s agent Alessandro Lucci.

Marseille Join The Race For Inter Milan Forward Joaquin Correa

According to Di Marzio, yet another Ligue 1 team have also spoken with Correa’s agent.

He reports that Marseille have yet to begin talks with Inter. But they consider Correa a target.

Alexis Sanchez has left Marseille after just one season.

In something of a merry-go-round situation, the Chilean is also the player who Inter are thinking about bringing back to replace Correa if the latter leaves.

Sanchez left Inter just last summer.

In any event, Correa is on Marseille’s radar, and the two clubs could for all intents and purposes switch South American forwards this summer.

Marseille have already signed two forwards this summer. Veteran Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has arrived from Chelsea. And Iliman Ndiaye has signed from Sheffield United.
