Liverpool face competition from Marseilles for the signing of Aston Villa’s Jordan Amavi.
According to Get Football News France, Marseilles have put Sporting Director Andoni Zubizarreta on the case.
The 22-year-old joined Villa from Nice last season in an £8m deal and was a relative success despite Villa’s relegation.
Amavi has been in great form this season with Liverpool having had him watched half a dozen times with favourable reports returning to Jurgen Klopp.
The Anfield boss is weighing up a couple of options at left-back with a £15m bid for Amavi anticipated when the transfer window opens.
Marseilles are determined to re-establish themselves again as a force in Europe as well as domestically with the success of Nice showing that PSG can be challenged.
Bringing in young French talent is the route that the club have chosen with Zunizarreta chosen to ensure that Amavi and others are at the heart of the side.
