Marseille will test Leeds’ commitment to keeping Illan Meslier

Conformable Foot MarketOlympique de Marseille want to test Leeds’ commitment to keeping Illan Meslier (24) as they prepare to strengthen their squad with the imminent arrival of their new manager Roberto De Zerbi.

The French goalkeeper has been with the English side for the past four years, having moved from FC Lorient in 2020. However, with Leeds failing to secure promotion back to the Premier League, French media have speculated that Meslier may be looking for a new adventure. .

Marseille are believed to be in love with Meslier as they believe he would fit the profile De Zerbi would like to build and could be looking for a replacement for Pau López (29), who was recently linked to a move to Italian side Como 1907.

It remains to be seen how willing Leeds would be to part with the number one, but with two years left on his contract, they are not particularly in a position of pressure to sell.
