Marseille have made an advance deal for Premier League midfielder Mohamed Salah, according to reports from French media outlets.
The transfer fee is expected to be €30 million, making it one of the most expensive midfield transfers in recent history.
Salah, who has been linked with moves to Manchester City and Liverpool, has been on loan at Roma since 2018 and has made 19 appearances for the Italian club.
He has been described as one of the best midfielders in the world and is known for his technical skills, creativity, and ability to score goals.
The move to Marseille would give Salah more playing time and potentially unlock his full potential. The club's manager, Rémi Garde, said that he was "thrilled" to sign Salah and believes that the move will strengthen their midfield.
However, there are concerns about the impact on the club's finances. Marseille currently have a debt of over €450 million, and the transfer fee is likely to increase their financial burden.
Despite these challenges, the club remains committed to signing Salah and believes that he can help them compete in Europe's top tier of football.
