Marseille make contact for Patrik Schick

Marseille Sporting Director Andoni Zubizarreta has approached AS Roma President James Pallota’s personal advisor Franco Baldini about the possibility of signing 23-year-old striker Patrik Schick, according to our colleagues at Foot Mercato.

Zubi wants to do a deal on loan with an obligation to buy, in a formula that would enable OM to sidestep ever-increasing Financial Fair Play pressure.

The outlet understands that Roma are not against the idea of Schick’s departure, with his current €4.6m a year gross salary weighting on their accounts rather heavily, especially when you consider their lack of Champions’ League football next season.
