Jorge Valdivia would like to join his former Chile coach at Olympic Marseille.
Having made a strong start to the World Cup, scoring in Chile’s 3-1 win against Australia, Valdivia may have already caught the eye of scouts in Brazil.
Speaking to TVN in Chile about Bielsa’s move to France, Valdivia said: “I hope he takes me.”
The player’s contract with Palmeiras runs until August 2015, however, although his quip was largely in jest, it is rumoured that he is open to a move to Europe.
