Despite Marseille completing the capture of five players within a week, and they are still looking to add further quality to their squad and World Cup Winner Desailly has already told the president
of his old club , that he will definetly be joining them after completing his contract with Chelsea at the end of next season
The club's sporting directorMarcel Gibb said "We need a large squad next season as we are in the Champions League, and we stilll want Desailly"
Desailly , snapped up by Chelsea just before last summers World Cup , has told his former employer Rober Louis Dreyfus, that it was almost certain that he would be going back to France to finish off his career
After the conversation with Dreyfus, the 30 year old said" He told me that Marseille were keen on me, and I mentioned that I would love to return to France and Marseille"
"The Rock", has certainly showed why he cost £4.6 million last summer, looking a cut above the rest in the Premiership last season, but if Marseille are to land Desailly they would have to fork out a fee in the region of £6 million
It took plenty of persuation from Gianluca Vialli to get him to sign and it looks as though Luca will have his work cut out persuading him to stay
