According to Foot Mercato, FC Basel is still interested in signing Sekou Mara from Strasbourg. Mara, a 23-year-old forward, joined Strasbourg last year from Southampton for a fee of 12 million euros but has struggled to secure a regular place in the team. Although he was close to moving to Auxerre, the transfer did not materialize. Now, both FC Basel and Anderlecht are reportedly in the race to sign him. Basel hopes to capitalize on the situation as Mara seeks more playing time.
