The Leeds United goalkeeper has been linked with a move to the European champions

A move for the 24-year-old is still in the early stages, but there is concrete interest from the French giants, whose goalkeeper situation is still up in the air.

Should the Frenchman return to his homeland, he would be managed by former Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi, who joined the club this summer after leaving the Seagulls. The 6-foot-6 goalkeeper could see his international prospects benefit from a transfer. Meslier currently has 13 caps for France at under-21 level and a move to Marseille could see him for the senior team.

Meslier signed for Leeds permanently in 2020 under former manager Marcelo Bielsa after impressing during a loan spell at the club the previous season. The stopper went on to make 175 appearances for the Yorkshire outfit, playing a crucial role in the team’s promotion to the Premier League during his loan season. Meslier was, however, criticized by many for his performances in his three seasons in the top flight, making several errors that led to goals.

The Daily Mail report that the Whites need to raise £100m this summer after missing out on promotion last campaign and the sale of Meslier, who is valued at £18m by Transfermarkt, could help them financially as he seeks to succeed in succeeding. promotion this time.
