Marseille have reportedly joined the race against Tottenham Hotspur and Napoli to sign Internacional forward Leandro Damião.
The two clubs have been chasing the Brazil international for several months and any transfer to Europe is expected to be one of these teams.
However, both L’Equipe and Le10Sport have claimed that Ligue 1 side Marseille are now battling for Damião’s signature too.
The French publications suggest OM director Jean-Philippe Durand is currently in Brazil to continue negotiations.
Inter are believed to have set a £16 million price-tag on the 23-year-old and this week they criticised Napoli’s approach.
President Giovanni Luigi said: “If a club want a player, they must talk to the president of the club at which that particular player plays, not just deal with the agent, that is not correct behaviour.
“Recently we talked with Tottenham, Leandro is very likely to play games in England in the coming year. On the other hand we can exclude Napoli.”
