Marseille seeks to sign Matthieu Epolo from Standard Liège
Summary

Olympique de Marseille is attempting to acquire goalkeeper Matthieu Epolo from Standard Liège, according to Get French Football News. The Ligue 1 club is currently constrained by the need to offload some high-earning players before making new signings. Standard Liège values Epolo at €8 million, and Marseille's pursuit may face competition from another Ligue 1 club and a Premier League team also interested in the player. Sales of players could allow Marseille to fulfill their goalkeeping requirements more effectively. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is noted as a player Marseille is keen to sell.
