Marseille's Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg Excites Turkish Interest

Yahoo Sports

Marseille's Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is sparking Turkish interest as the club seeks to boost their financial situation.

Marseille’s Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is gaining significant attention from Turkey, according to a report in L’Équipe. The Denmark international could be heading to the opposite side of the continent as many players look for opportunities this summer. Despite failing to qualify for next season's UEFA Champions League, Les Phocéens are eager to find buyers, and Hojbjerg’s market value is estimated around €10 million.

Having worn the armband since it was stripped from Leonardo Balerdi, Hojbjerg is a crucial part of this Marseille team. However, his time at the Vélodrome could soon come to an end as the club aims to raise funds and offload players with big salaries. The 30-year-old midfielder, who has shown no interest in leaving despite being linked to PSG, seems open to an exit but was previously close to Adrien Rabiot.

This news adds a new dimension of excitement to Marseille’s summer transfer activity.
