Marseille pushing to sign Standard Liège’s Matthieu Epolo amid need to sell | OneFootball

GetFootballNewsFrance.com understands that Olympique de Marseille are pushing to sign Standard Liège goalkeeper Matthieu Epolo, 21, though the Ligue 1 club need to sell before they can buy.

Marseille are not alone in their pursuit, with another Ligue 1 side and a Premier League club looking for a No.2 also making enquiries about the DR Congo international.

Their window is being held up by the difficulty of moving on high earners. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is among those they would like to offload, and bids would be welcomed for any player.

Sales would open the door to recruiting a goalkeeper, or even two, which is a priority for Grégory Lorenzi. Jeffrey De Lange started against RC Strasbourg Alsace on Friday night, and the Dutchman could yet leave.

A gap remains in valuations, with Standard Liège seeking an €8m fee.
