1 Javier Manquillo

Atletico Madrid defender Javier Manquillo is in talks over a move to Marseille.

The Spaniard joined Liverpool on a two-year loan last summer but the Reds cancelled the deal after just 12 months.

The right-back is now on the hunt for a new club after being told by Atletico that they plan to loan him out once again.

Roma have expressed an interest in the 21-year-old, as have Portuguese champions Benfica.

But now, according to France Football, Manquillo is in talks with Marseille over a switch to the Ligue 1 club.

Discussions are at a preliminary stage but the French side remain hopeful a deal can be struck.
