Olympique Marseille is apparently interested in Alexander Sörloth from RB Leipzig. The striker, who was only signed last summer, should, according to reports, be handed over in this transfer window if possible.

Noisy L’Equipe the Norwegian should be a candidate at OM. However, the sports newspaper names a sale of their own striker Dario Benedetto to Real Betis as a prerequisite for a transfer from Sörloth.

Sörloth came to RB from Crystal Palace in the summer of 2020 for a transfer fee of 20 million euros and was supposed to be the successor to Timo Werner, who had migrated to Chelsea.

In 29 Bundesliga games, however, he only scored five goals. In addition, he only started 13 times under coach Julian Nagelsmann.
