Celtic could lose Olivier Ntcham after their Champions League exit.
According to L’Equipe, the agents of Olivier Ntcham have offered the Celtic star to Marseille – but the French club aren’t interested in signing him this summer.
The Bhoys are enduring a disappointing start to the season, as they have crashed out of the Champions League after a shock 3-2 aggregate defeat to AEK Athens and a 1-0 league defeat to Hearts.
Brendan Rodgers is desperate for new signings, but with no Champions League football this season, Celtic may now face the nightmare of losing key players to other clubs around Europe.
RMC Sport reported earlier this week that Porto were in talks with the representatives of Celtic midfielder Olivier Ntcham, in the hope of securing a deal for the French midfielder.
Now, L’Equipe report that Marseille have been contacted by Ntcham’s representatives, offering them the chance to make a move for the Celtic star – but they aren’t interested.
Marseille will be in the Europa League this season after a fourth place finish under Rudi Garcia, and will be hoping to break into the top three having finished just one point off a Champions League spot last term.
A midfielder is wanted after selling Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa to Fulham last week, but it’s claimed that Marseille aren’t viewing Ntcham as a potential replacement, meaning Celtic may be able to rest a little easier.
Celtic signed Ntcham from Manchester City last summer, and he enjoyed a fine first season in Glasgow with nine goals in 47 games, but that seemingly wasn’t enough to convince Marseille.
