Marseille scout €28m Liverpool, West Ham target

Marseille have been scouting Luis Muriel, according to Genoese paper Il Secolo XIX.

The Sampdoria star has been targeted by Liverpool, West Ham and Inter in the past, having enjoyed a strong season at the Marassi, scoring ten Serie A goals.

Marseille are looking for attackers to replace Bafetimbi Gomis - on loan from Swansea - and are also considering Mario Mandzukic, among others.

Recent reports from TMW indicated that Sampdoria were willing to sell the 26-year-old this summer, having previously stonewalled negotiations in the winter.

Liverpool were recently linked with the Colombian international again, with Muriel reportedly worth around €28 million.

Muriel joined the Genoese side for only € 10.5M in 2015, and is also liked by Sevilla.

Previously linked to big clubs, Muriel stalled a bit at Udinese and in his first months at the Marassi, before recovering his form and slamming in 16 goals in two seasons.

West Ham’s Slaven Bilic has also expressed a liking for the Colombian.
