Nicolas Nkoulou, the Cameroonian defender for Marseille, has reportedly surprised many by extending his contract with the club by one season before the end of 2013. This means he is now tied to Marseille until 2016. This comes as a surprise, especially considering the strong interest from clubs like Napoli. Nkoulou had expressed his desire to explore other opportunities last summer when Monaco was interested in him. Despite being courted by several clubs, including Napoli recently, he stated that he wouldn’t leave OM in the winter transfer window, expressing gratitude for the club that revealed him. The details of the contract extension and whether there’s a departure clause at the end of the season are yet to be disclosed.
