Marseille’s Doria in high demand

Brazilian defender Doria could be leaving Marseille in the winter transfer window, according to Journal du Dimanche.

The 20-year-old was one of the players who arrived at Stade Velodrome in the summer without coach Marcelo Bielsa giving the green light and the youngster in turn had a nightmare start to his career in France.

Doria hasn’t made a single appearance for the senior team this season and has recently been made available for the reserve squad.

This is enough to suggest that the Brazilian could soon be leaving Marseille and it appears he has no shortage of offers at the moment.

Journal du Dimanche has suggested that OM have already received four official proposals for Doria, with three of those being loan deals and one outright transfer.

A loan until the end of the season could prove the best option for all the parties involved given that Marseille are unlikely to allow the defender to leave on the cheap having paid reported €5 million for his services.
