Saber Khalifa Eyes Move to Qatar After Marseille Exclusion
Saber Khalifa finds himself on the fringes at Olympique de Marseille, having been sidelined by new coach Marcelo Bielsa and relegated to the club’s CFA 2 (fifth-tier) squad. After a subdued 2013-2014 season with just 28 Ligue 1 appearances and one goal, Khalifa’s prospects of reclaiming a first-team spot at Marseille this season appear bleak.
Initially, the Tunisian forward declined offers from less prominent leagues, hoping for opportunities with top European clubs. However, with no major proposals forthcoming, Khalifa is now open to alternative destinations.
Reports from Tunisian media indicate that Khalifa has entered negotiations with Qatari side Al Kharitiyath. Whether these discussions lead to a transfer remains to be seen, but the player seems ready to embrace a fresh challenge outside Europe.
