Marseille consider Hannibal Mejbri as midfield reinforcement

Hannibal Mejbri has emerged as a possible Marseille target, with the Tunisian international viewed as a smart and affordable option for a midfield rebuild.

Burnley’s relegation has opened the door to speculation, because it is unlikely that the 23-year-old will want to stay in the Championship for long.

Marseille are expected to reshape their squad heavily this summer after several departures and more possible exits in midfield. That creates a clear need for reinforcements, especially with the club working under tight financial limits and needing to make every transfer count. Mejbri fits that profile because he is talented, still young, and could be available for less than 15 million euros.

The idea is still more of a suggestion than a formal negotiation, but it is an appealing one for the French club. Mejbri has experience with Monaco, Manchester United and Burnley, and his recent season in England showed flashes of quality even if his numbers were modest. He finished with one goal and four assists in the Premier League, while also adding two assists for Tunisia at the World Cup.

For Marseille, the question is whether they can move first and convince both the player and Burnley before another club steps in.
