Damiao’s agent trying to engineer French move?

Leandro Damiao’s agent has been at it again, this time he has told the press that Marseille would be an attractive alternative to Tottenham.

Press reports have claimed recently that talks between Spurs and Internacional have re-opened in a transfer saga which has spanned over 18 months. The French club are known to have been monitoring Damiao’s progress, but view him as outside of their price range.

We all know how desperate we are to bring in another forward and it looks as if Damaio’s agent Vinicius Prates is doing all he can to engineer a move for his player. There’s no doubt the Brazilian would be a fantastic signing for us, but whether Levy will get him at the price he wants remains to be seen.

“I have not been contacted by Olympique de Marseille,” Prates told Sambafoot.

“The leaders of this team have not made me an offer for my client. In any case, Marseille is a great club with a great history and France is a country where life is good.

“Moreover, the championship of France has become competitive with big clubs like Marseille, PSG and Monaco.

“Marseille could be an interesting club for Leandro Damiao – especially since there is nothing completed with Tottenham.”
