Javier Manquillo wants to decide his future before the end of this week. The right back of Atletico Madrid, loaned last season to Liverpool, has suitors and yesterday Olympique de Marseille, managed by Marcelo Bielsa, significantly accelerated to secure his services.
The French club was close to getting his loan last season and now wants to get ahead of Girondins, their rival in Ligue 1, and Roma to sign him. The Italian club got stuck with Atletico because they did not want to include a buy-back option for Atletico if Roma exercised their option to buy in the loan contract. Olympique is trying to take advantage of this.
