Marseille, which is operating with a reduced financial margin, has recently sought information on Deivid Washington, a 21-year-old Brazilian striker for Chelsea. Sevilla and Strasbourg are also following the player, and both have already submitted offers. Strasbourg is considered to have an advantage due to the connection between the club and Chelsea's owner, BlueCo. Washington has inquired about Marseille with former Brazilian players of the club, an action that signals his interest in a possible move to Ligue 1. Washington joined Chelsea in August 2023 from Santos for a fee that was reported as €16 million, and his contract is valid until 2030. He has 12 caps and 3 goals for Brazil's U20 team.
