Marseille are reportedly ready to launch a bid in the region of £13.5m for Celtic forward Moussa Dembele.

Celtic forward Moussa Dembele has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Marseille.

Dembele has scored a total of 50 goals in 91 appearances for the Glasgow giants, and the Frenchman's scoring record has seen him frequently linked with clubs all over Europe.

According to L'Equipe, Marseille are the latest team to show an interest and could be about to launch an offer in the region of £13.5m.

Reports have previously suggested that Dembele could cost well in excess of £20m, but the 22-year-old now has less than two years remaining on his contract.

Celtic are unlikely to entertain anything below that figure at this stage, but the Scottish side may reconsider their stance if they are unable to secure a place in the Europa League group stages after missing out in the Champions League.
