Crystal Palace goalkeeper Steve Mandanda has made it clear that he would like to return to Marseille in the near future.
The highly rated goalkeeper decided to leave l’OM after nine years as he joined the Eagles on a free transfer last summer, but he has had a difficult start to his career in England.
Mandanda only made nine league appearances for the basement club and it would appear as though his long-term future at Selhurst Park is in doubt.
With Marseille looking for a new shot-stopper, the 31-year-old has been heavily linked with a summer return to Stade Velodrome and he now admits that is a realistic possibility.
“Quite simply: everyone knows the attachment I have for Marseille,” Mandanda told Radio Monte Carlo. “It would be a great pleasure to return, because my feeling for the club is enormous.
“If I have to return to France it will be with Marseille and nobody else.”
Steve Mandanda performed at a very high level during his spell at Stade Velodrome, missing mere eight league games during nine years and he captained the side for several seasons before joining Crystal Palace.
