Following multiple reliable reports that Leipzig have accepted a bid from Marseille for Lutsharel Geertruida - discussions over personal terms are said to have begun as all parties look to finalise the move in the coming days. The defender is open to the move, and if talks proceed smoothly, the transfer could be confirmed in the coming days - which would see the buying team secure one of their top targets and put their rivals on notice. While Marseille and Leipzig continue talks, no breakthrough has been reported. Sunderland, Atalanta and Nottingham Forest reportedly may still have an interest, but currently the focus is on getting this deal across the line. With only 5 goals conceded in 7 (0.71 per game), Marseille have been one of the stronger defences in the Ligue 1 this season.. Lutsharel Geertruida would be asked to keep that standard and provide dependable cover when needed. Leipzig continue to be linked with Harvey Elliott, Fabio Silva and Rasmus Winther Hojlund while Marseille are also rumoured to be tracking Kobbie Mainoo, Hamed Junior Traore and Florentino Luis.
