    Unless they were doing something underhanded behind the scenes to gauge his interest then I don't think so. We've done it ourselves with the likes of Roberts this summer.

    I don't think Moussa would entertain a move to them in any case, leaving Champions League participants for French league also rans would make no sense from a career perspective.

    I'd argue that Marseille players would find it easier to get a big move than a Celtic player. Look at guys like Lacazette, he has went straight from another french side of similar calibre to Marseille to a top team in Arsenal. The ceiling for a transfer directly from Celtic looks to be mid table in England at the moment.

    - @OM_English confirm interest in Moussa Dembele, Celtic will not budge from their £25M price tag, there's no need to sell

    Celtic FC News‏ @Celtic1888News 5m5 minutes ago

    If @OM_English can match this & Celtic can agree a deal in principle to sign Sardar Azmoun from Rubin Kazan, deal will go through.

    Can see your point to an extent, Lacazette had 7 years at Lyon before his big move and is in the full France set-up which Moussa isn't as yet. I still think the best place for him to showcase his talents is in the Champions League with us, that's when European clubs really sat up and took notice of him.

    I think with the success of Wanyama & Van Dijk added to the current outstanding young talents we have, means that the bigger English clubs won't be so dismissive of our players. For example, if Tierney were to leave it certainly wouldn't be for likes of a Southampton/Burnley/West Ham type.

    Honestly think it would be pointless for him to leave this season.

    He's got to lead the line in the CL Group Stages when fit, no harm to Griff but he doesn't bring the power or presence Moussa does in the European arena.

    I hope Moussa can get himself sorted for our opening CL Group Stage game because he's on a race against time for that.

    Agreed. Think he knows that too. Only thing could sway him would be being in France closer to home/family.

    I can guarantee we don't have a price tag of 25 million on him.

    25 million buys you run of the mill *, 50 million buys you a young French Champions League goal scorer.

    Marseille don't have the buying power to purchase Moussa, the premiership does but it'll be next summer more than likely before he goes.

    Did you read the headline wrong?
    They can be interested in a player, same as we are interested in Roberts.
    Its if they hold secret talks with the player without our permission that we can go down that route. Or actively look to entice a player with ludicrous ideas of salary etc.

    Twitter nonsense.

    Azmoun would cost about £10 million and only just signed for Rubin in July.
