Marseille look to beat Galatasaray to Roma’s Celik

Olympique Marseille have reportedly lined up a deal with Roma for Galatasaray target Zeki Celik, who has agreed personal terms with the French club.

The Giallorossi have been active in the January transfer window, selling Matias Vina to Flamengo and loaning out Andrea Belotti and Ola Solbakken.

Dean Huijsen and Angelino have both arrived on loan, adding more options to Daniele De Rossi’s squad, and Tommaso Baldanzi will be purchased from Empoli.

Roma are still rushing to complete some business before the winter transfer window closes on February 1 at 20.00 Italian time.

As reported by TMW, Roma and Marseille have agreed to the terms of a deal for Celik, who has also agreed his contract with the French club. The only thing remaining now is the exit of Jonathan Clauss.

The 26-year-old Turkish right back has hardly featured for the Giallorossi this term, seeing just 724 minutes of action across 15 games.
