French media: Marseille pursues West Ham defender Agde and will compete with pharmaceutical factories, Atletico Madrid and Royal Society

Foot Mercato reported that Marseille wants to sign West Ham defender Agde.

Marseille is attacking from multiple lines in the transfer market. After finalizing a three-year contract with Angel Gomez, the club is operating Agde's transfer at the same time.

The Moroccan international is the primary goal of Marseille central defender's reinforcement. Agde, who spent a successful loan season at Real Sociedad, has been unanimously recognized by the Marseille management, but has many competitors. Bundesliga clubs including Leverkusen, Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad, which hopes to buy out, have joined the competition. This puts pressure on Marseille, which will compete in the Champions League next season, but the players themselves appreciate Marseille's plans and are eager to participate in the Champions League.

According to information obtained by Foot Mercato, Marseille has accelerated its operations recently and submitted a formal contract offer to the players. The key to this transfer also depends on West Ham United's attitude, and the contract between Agde and the Hammers will expire in June 2027.

In addition to Agde, Marseille also hopes to sign Facundo Medina. According to sources, clues about Laporte's transfer have been basically interrupted.
