Ligue 1 rivals Marseille made a third offer for Norwich striker Jonathan Rowe over the weekend, aiming to complete the deal through a loan-enhanced buyout, according to a new report from renowned Telegraph journalist John Percy. The total transfer fee for the deal is said to be expected to reach £13.5 million, showing Marseille's high level of interest and determination in Jonathan Law.
Marseille's reinforcement in the new season has been unrelenting, especially in the forward position. Although the team has managed to sign strong players such as Greenwood and Wahi, it is still not enough for the new manager De Zerbi. Marseille have always seen Norwich striker Jonathan Rowe as a key target to strengthen their forward line and have worked tirelessly to do so. However, in two previous offers, Marseille failed to get what they wanted and were rejected by Norwich.
However, Marseille did not give up, and they firmly believe that the addition of Jonathan Law will further enhance the team's attacking power and competitiveness. Therefore, at the end of last week, Marseille officially sent a third offer to Norwich, hoping to impress the other side and facilitate the deal. Negotiations between the two sides are still in full swing, but according to various sources, Marseille seem to be close to winning the battle and a deal is expected to be finalized in the near future.
It is worth noting that Marseille are also facing stiff competition from Leeds United in their pursuit of Jonathan Rowe. The Championship side have also shown strong interest in Jonathan Rowe and are hoping to recruit him to help them get promoted. However, Jonathan Law himself seems to prefer Marseille to Leeds United. The player has reportedly made his intentions clear to the club, asking Norwich to sell him to Marseille. This statement certainly adds more leverage and confidence to Marseille's negotiations.
