The Bayern Munich midfielder Michael Cuisance could join Marseille after his move to Leeds United collapsed, according to Foot Mercato.
The French website claims Bayern have reached an agreement with Marseille for the transfer of Bouna Sarr.
It adds, however, that some details are still to be finalised and that Cuisance ‘could be included in the operation’.
The midfielder was on the verge of becoming Leeds’ latest high-profile summer recruit – at a reported cost of £20 million – but failed a medical last week, according to Sky Sports.
But, speaking at a press conference afterwards, the Bayern coach Hansi Flick said: “The situation is certainly not that easy for him (Cuisance) now. It was certainly a setback (his failed move to Leeds), but I can say that our medical staff have a completely different opinion.”
Leeds have since been linked with moves for Jose Campana (Levante) and Raphinha (Rennes).
And the Whites have until 11pm on Monday to conclude deals for overseas players such as the pair.
After that, Marcelo Bielsa’s side can only reinforce from EFL clubs until the domestic window closes on 16 October.
