Two major French clubs are fighting to sign Anis Hadj Moussa. Lille OSC and Olympique de Marseille both hope to bring the Algerian winger to Ligue 1.
The 24-year-old has played very well for Feyenoord in the Netherlands. He has become one of the most wanted players in Europe. However, any club that wants to buy him must pay about €30 million.
Marseille might find this deal difficult. The club has some financial troubles. They also look likely to miss out on Champions League football next season. This could stop them from signing the player.
This is a blow for Marseille. Last winter, former president Pablo Longoria spoke with Feyenoord about the Paris-born star. The clubs even discussed paying the fee in four separate parts.
Hadj Moussa has scored 11 goals and provided 7 assists in 38 games across all competitions this term. His strong form means he will probably feature in the summer transfer window. National team manager Vladimir Petković is expected to include him in Algeria’s squad for the World Cup in the United States.
