Steve Mandanda, the captain of Marseille, is attracting interest from Italian clubs as he contemplates leaving both Marseille and France for the next season. While initially linked with a move to Monaco, Mandanda is now being courted by AC Milan and other Serie A clubs.
AC Milan had prioritized signing Iker Casillas from Real Madrid but could turn to Mandanda if negotiations with Casillas fall through. Other goalkeepers on AC Milan’s radar include Stéphane Ruffier from Saint-Etienne, Federico Marchetti from Lazio, and Mattia Perin from Genoa.
As Marseille prepares for Mandanda’s potential departure, they are considering options for his replacement. Brice Samba was initially seen as a candidate, but doubts persist about his readiness for the demands of Ligue 1. As a result, Marseille is exploring other options, including Guillermo Ochoa.
