Olympique de Marseille is in discussions with Lens to include Neal Maupay in the transaction for Facundo Medina. However, Maupay is not interested in this move. His loan is set to become a permanent transfer this summer, and he is also sought after in England, but he does not intend to move. The Marseille management has been informed.

Lens is interested in Neal Maupay, who has been on loan from Everton and is not being retained by the vice-champion of France. Olympique de Marseille might attempt to include Maupay in the deal for Facundo Medina to reduce the payment amount. Lens initially demanded 25 million euros for Medina, but the clubs are nearing an agreement around 20 million euros. The inclusion of Maupay, who has an obligatory purchase option of 4 million euros, could further lower the cost for Marseille, facilitating the transfer.
