Nicolas Nkoulou, the Marseille defender, seems to be avoiding discussions about his future despite his club setting a transfer amount of 20 million euros for him. With 35 matches played in Ligue 1 during the current season, Nkoulou has attracted interest from European clubs, although not necessarily the giants of the continent.
After the victory against Bastia (2-1) where André Pierre Ginac scored a double, the Cameroonian international evaded questions about his future. When asked if he would consider leaving, even if Marseille qualifies for the Champions League, Nkoulou responded, “Yes, can I leave even if the club qualifies for the Champions League? I do not want to answer.”
Previously targeted by FC Barcelona in the last winter transfer window, Nkoulou is reportedly on the radar of Newcastle, the Premier League club that is not in danger of relegation. The ambiguity surrounding Nkoulou’s response and the interest from clubs suggest that his future remains uncertain, with potential moves to European leagues being discussed.
