Marseille Sporting Director Andoni Zubizarreta held a round of unsuccessful talks in the south of France city recently with the representatives of 30-year-old midfielder Marouane Fellaini, who is a free agent next month, according to L’Équipe.

Despite being very interested in the player’s profile, OM have realised that they simply do not harbour the financial capacity to make a move happen.

Atletico Madrid remain a credible option for Fellaini, with Manchester United still willing to retain the Belgian international’s services with a contract extension offer on the table.
