Premier League side Crystal Palace have announced the signing of French international goalkeeper Steve Mandanda from Marseille.

Mandanda has signed a three year contract with the London side and leaves Ligue 1 as a Marseille legend.

Newcastle United’s demands to Marseille in the latter’s pursuit of French winger Florian Thauvin are proving too great at the time of writing for a deal to be possible, according to L’Équipe.

The Magpies would prefer to sell Thauvin outright, failing that they would go for a loan with a €15m obligatory buy clause.

Neither of those two options are viable for Marseille in their currently financially-stricken state.

According to Foot Mercato, Ligue 1 side Marseille are interested in signing Hacken’s Ghanaian youth international attacker Nasiru Mohammed.

Marseille scout Jean-Philippe Durand watched Mohammed at the weekend in a Swedish first division match between Hacken and Hammarby.

Durand is also set to watch the player again tonight, after he liked what he saw, in a Europa League qualifying match against Cork City.

The player’s contract expires in December 2016, which would enable OM to sign him for less than a million Euros.

According to L’Équipe, Marseille’s pursuit of the loan of Aston Villa’s French central midfielder Jordan Veretout is dead in the water.

The player had wanted to join Marseille, but his agents were never keen on him doing so, and attempted to find other options for him as a move to OM was nearing completion.

Real Betis have joined the party meanwhile and Marseille appear ready to give up on this target.

Premier League side Everton and Italian giants Inter Milan are in talks over the possible signing of French international Moussa Sissoko, according to L’Équipe.

The player’s agent is due to meet with both of these clubs in Paris in the coming days.

Even though the player is still hoping that Real Madrid make their supposed interest in his services more concrete with an offer, he will not exclude the possibility of joining either Everton or Inter Milan.

Newcastle United continue to demand €40m in order to let the player go.

According to Le Télégramme, Rennes goalkeeper Benoît Costil has agreed personal terms with Fiorentina.

Rennes rejected a €1m offer from the Serie A side for the player last night, but Fiorentina will make an improved offer in the coming hours.

For a long time, Costil has dreamt about playing in Italy and has never received a contract extension offer from Rennes.

Cédric Carrasso and Paul Bernardoni (Bordeaux) and Vladislav Stoyanov (Ludogorets) have been earmarked as potential replacements by Rennes.

Abdoulaye Diallo has for the moment been blocked from joining Turkish side Rizespor as this situation develops.

As for Paul Nardi, his situation remains fluid. The player had been promised to be first choice at Rennes this season, and that could still be the case.

If not though, AS Monaco are already lining up a loan move to Standard Liege for Nardi.

30 year old winger Nabil Dirar is in advanced negotiations with Serie A side Lazio about a possible move, according to Gianluca di Marzio and Il Messaggero.

Lazio Sporting Director Igli Tare was in Monte Carlo last night attempting to finalise the move, but ASM boss Leonardo Jardim is not very happy with the prospect of senior dressing room figure Dirar potentially moving on, even if the pair have had a frosty relationship in the past.

Moroccan international attacker Younes Belhanda has two offers on the table, from AS Roma and OGC Nice, according to Manu Lonjon, who is close to the player’s camp.

Both deals on the table are a season-long loan for €1m with a €10m option to buy.

The club must decide whether it will accept one or either of these offers.

Speaking to reporters at Clairefontaine today, Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny moved to hype up Lyon attacking midfielder Nabil Fékir’s ability and potential.

“Nabil is someone with enormous technical quality. He reminds me of Messi with his little adjustive touches in terms of controlling the ball. He can make the difference on the pitch, whether that is as a collectively or in one-on-one situations. He brings lots of precision, he plays often on the right hand side to cut inside with his left foot. He has a very different style to Payet who plays on the left side. Nabil is much more about the one vs one take-ons. That brings a positive to our attack. We hope that he will improve to become a true great.”

Garcia will have an unveiling press conference at 13:00 local time tomorrow, and will be on the touchline already on Sunday for Le Classique vs PSG.

Owner Frank McCourt had the following to say on the appointment:

“When I met Rudi, he immediately told me that he wanted to win the Champions League. I immediately knew that he was the man for the manager job at Olympique de Marseille. Rudi is a man with a great character with a lot of energy, we share the same vision for OM and the identical determination to put that into practice.”

“His qualities as a leader have been evidenced on multiple occasions. When he took Lille to victory in Ligue 1 and in the Coupe de France in 2010-11, during his management of Roma who fought for the top positions on the international scene during his first two years at the club, or when he won the title of Manager of the Year in France in 2011, 2013 and 2014. Rudi knows what is needed for a team to win, and for the entire city of Marseille, I cannot wait to watch his future success. Jacques-Henri and I welcome Rudi Garcia to OM.”
