Souffian El Karouani, currently with Utrecht, is the latest name linked with a potential switch to Marseille. The defender could become a key signing should the move materialise, as the club seeks to strengthen in a key area of the pitch. While Marseille and Utrecht continue talks, no breakthrough has been reported. Frankfurt, Fenerbahce and West Ham reportedly may still have an interest, but currently the focus is on getting this deal across the line. Marseille's back line has been a real strength this season, conceding just 1.1 goals per game (22 in 20). Souffian El Karouani would be expected to slot into that unit and hold his own in an already solid setup. Alongside this, Utrecht are said to be exploring Angel Alarcon with Marseille likewise connected to Ethan Nwaneri, Quinten Timber and Himad Abdelli. Looking for Marseille transfer rumours?
