Adding a striker remains Marseille’s top priority this summer and Rudi García will have drafted a shortlist of a number of possible targets he could approach in the coming weeks.
Carlos Bacca has been long term target of Rudi García as the manager look to bolster his attacking options for the next season.
Rudi García will reportedly be handed a huge transfer kitty this summer and the AC Milan striker is thought to be among the manager’s priorities.
Marseille are in the market for just a handful of statement signings this summer who can improve the first-team.
According to the report in French Media, Marseille have already offered a three-year contract to Carlos Bacca.
Carlos Bacca would reportedly be interested in a move this summer, but if Marseille do want him, they will have to beat those other interested clubs to his signature.
