The former Toulouse player was already on Marseille’s radar four years ago, but the deal did not materialise at the time.
According to L’Equipe, Marseille are already in talks with Bayer, and sporting director Mehdi Benatia, who knows Adli well, is playing a key role in the negotiations. He even acted as an advisor to Adli when the player chose to represent the Moroccan national team.
In addition to Adli, the club is also showing interest in Edon Zhegrova, but are currently waiting to free up a non-EU spot in the squad. Talks with the Lille winger are still at an early stage.
