As reported by Foot Mercato, Marseille is aiming to prioritize a transfer for Toulouse FC goalkeeper Guillaume Restes (21). This comes after news that current OM starter Geronimo Rulli is likely heading to Premier League club Manchester City, who is nearing an agreement with Les Olympiens regarding a transfer. Restes has shown interest in the move and is currently under contract with Toulouse until 2028. Last season, he made 33 appearances for Les Violets and has represented France’s U23 team 19 times. Additionally, Aston Villa is reportedly monitoring the young goalkeeper in case Emiliano Martinez transfers to Juventus this summer. Marseille is also looking to offload their second-choice goalkeeper Jeffrey De Lange, with Dutch club Twente expressing interest. These developments are part of Marseille’s efforts to address financial challenges, as the club needs to make sales to mitigate their deficit after being at risk of penalties from France’s football regulatory body, the DNCG.
