Ligue 1 outfit Marseille are reportedly keen on signing 28-year-old Everton striker Neal Maupay late this summer.
According to a report from French outlet Foot Mercato, Everton are currently locked in talks with Ligue 1 club Marseille over a deal for 28-year-old forward Neal Maupay. The Frenchman has been largely underwhelming since his move to Everton, and it is no surprise that the Toffees are prepared to let him move on.
It remains to be seen whether Marseille can secure an agreement with the Premier League club late on in the window. Meanwhile, Everton are lacking in quality when it comes to the attacking unit, and they will need to bring in quality replacements as well. Recent reports have linked the Merseyside outfit with strikers like Eddie Nketiah.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin has not been at his best either. The England international striker has scored a total of 15 goals in his last three seasons, and Everton are desperately crying out for a reliable goalscorer.
The Toffees have been fighting the relegation battle in the last two seasons, and they will look to bounce back strongly this year. Everton will look to finish high up the table, and they need to plug their main weaknesses before the window closes.
Selling players like Maupay could allow them to bring in quality signings. Meanwhile, the 28-year-old forward is keen on a move to France, and he will hope that the two clubs can finalise an agreement quickly.
Maupay could be a useful addition
Maupay has previously proven his quality in the Premier League, and there is no doubt that he has the physical and technical attributes to thrive in Ligue 1 as well. He could be a key player for Marseille this season. The Ligue 1 outfit are looking to add more quality to their side so that they can have a successful season, and signing the 28-year-old striker could prove to be a wise decision.
Even though he has been a bit of hit-and-miss at Everton, he has the quality to transform Marseille in the attack. Everton must look to secure quality reinforcements before letting first team players leave the club late on in the window. They cannot afford to weaken their squad any further if they want to preserve their status as a Premier League club.
