French club Marseille are reportedly prepared to cash in on Morgan Sanson this summer, as they need to ‘balance the books’.

L’Equipe (via The Birmingham Mail) claim the playmaker could be sold as a means of raising funds, and the club would hope to bring in around €25 million (£21.5 million).

Sanson has impressed this season for the Europa League-chasing side, chipping in with four goals and making three assists.

His form recently reportedly caught the attention of Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers (Le10 Sport), who are keen to strengthen their midfield this summer.

Currently Nuno Espirito Santo doesn’t have a wealth of options at his disposal, but Sanson could be a solid signing.

TBR’s view

Wolves signing Sanson for around £21.5 million could be a great deal, as the player has exciting potential.

Sanson is still only 24 but already very talented, and his creativity could take Wolves to the next level.

As good as Joao Moutinho is, next season he may need to play less games as he will turn 33 in September.

The potential deal coud have legs with Marseille open to a sale to balance the books, and the Frenchman would be a step in the right direction for the ambitious Black Country club.
