General view of Selhurst Park
According to reports from French publication, Le 10 Sports, Crystal Palace are negotiating a deal with Olympique de Marseille for the transfer of goalkeeper Steve Mandanda.
The 32-year-old French goalkeeper made nine Premier League appearances last season, and the club is looking to sell him.
Crystal Palace’s Steve Mandanda
Mandanda joined Palace last season on a free transfer after spending nine seasons with Marseille. However, he has found game time hard to come by at Selhurst Park, with Sam Allardyce opting for Wayne Hennessey as his first choice instead.
The report suggests that Marseille and Palace are locked in negotiation over a possible transfer, but it has not gone smoothly as expected.
Steve Mandanda
Marseille have offered a bid in the region of €1 million for the player which has been rejected straightaway.
Palace believe that the sum is insufficient for a player who has represented the France national team 24 times.
Le 10 Sport adds that Marseille are hopeful of concluding a deal for their former player, and will be submitting a new offer in the coming weeks.
