Although not officially confirmed, rumors are circulating about Marseille goalkeeper Steve Mandanda potentially moving to Monaco in the upcoming season. This news has unsettled Marseille supporters as Mandanda is considered one of their key players.
Le Parisien reports that Monaco is in the process of securing the services of the Olympique de Marseille (OM) captain. It is suggested that, should the deal go through, the Franco-Congolese goalkeeper could be acquired for a sum of around 15 million euros. This figure is not expected to pose a financial challenge for Monaco, considering their current financial standing.
In the event of Mandanda’s departure, Marseille has reportedly identified Cedric Carrasso as their preferred replacement. However, there are indications that Carrasso might be heading to Turkey, specifically to Bursaspor, a club where Nigerian player Taiwo Tayé is currently associated. The situation remains fluid, and official announcements from the clubs involved are awaited to confirm or deny these transfer speculations.
