L'OM se renseigne sur Anelka

En partance pour Fenerbahçe, l'attaquant français de Manchester City, Nicolas Anelka, intéresse également l'Olympique de Marseille qui l'a personnellement contacté.


A la recherche d'un attaquant de pointe, l'OM a établi un contact avec le joueur mancunien dont le départ de Manchester est inéluctable cet hiver. Nicolas Anelka et Philippe Troussier se seraient déjà rencontrés dans un grand hotel parisien quelques heures avant la rencontre à Lille (2-1).

S'il veut engager l'ancien parisien dont le salaire avoisinne les 5 millions d'euros par an, Marseille devra verser 10 millions d'euros à Manchester City, qui a besoin de liquidités. Pour faciliter l'affaire, Marseille a envisagé d'inclure Lamine Sakho dans la transaction.

La priorité de l'OM en attaque reste cependant le Danois du Milan AC, Jon Dahl Tomasson. Pape Diouf rêve de faire signer ce joueur très adroit devant le but, cantonné à un rôle de joker de luxe à Milan.

Not a word for word translation but here's the gist of it...

Marseille are interested in signing Anelka and have contacted him personally. Anelka and Troussier met hours before the game with Lille in a Paris hotel. Marseille will have to pay 10m euros for the Man City player and to facilitate the move, Marseille plan to include Lamine Sakho in the deal. However, the signature of Danish AC Milan player, Jon Dal Tomasson, remains the priority for Marseille.

Might've made a few mistakes though...GCSE French was 5 years ago :p.

EDIT - - ahhh... i got beaten to it

Seemingly on his way to Fenerbahçe, Man City's French striker, Nicolas Anelka, has also attracted the interest of Olympique Marseille who have personally contacted him.

Currently looking for a striker, Marseille have contacted the mancunian player who's departure from Manchester seems certain this winter. Apparently Nicolas and Philippe Troussier have already met in a parisien hotel only a few hours before Marseille's game against Lille (2-1).

If they want to aquire the services of the ex PSG player, who's annual salary is approx 5 million euros, Marseille will have to pay 10million euros to Man City who are in need of money. To make things easier, Marseille are considering including Lamine Sakho in the deal.

Marseille's priority in attack is still AC Milan's Danish strikrt, JD Tomasson. Pape Diouf dreams of signing this talented player, who seems to only come off the bench for Milan.
