Portuguese giants Sporting Lisbon are willing to sell in-demand winger Diego Capel – but only for €7m.
Marseille have seen two bids for Capel, who has also been linked with being on the shopping list of English Premier League outfit Liverpool, turned down by Sporting Lisbon this summer.
The capital club have rebuffed offers of €3.5m and €4m for the Spanish winger.
However, according to Portuguese daily A Bola, Sporting Lisbon are prepared to sell the former Sevilla man, but only if an interested party offer €7m.

Such a price tag appears out of reach for Marseille, who were forced to call off their pursuit of Arsenal forward Gervinho due to financial concerns.
However, €7m may be well within reach for Liverpool, even if the Anfield outfit have not yet submitted a firm offer for the 25-year-old.
Capel was snapped up from Sevilla in 2011, penning a five-year contract in Lisbon with a buy-out clause of €30m.
The former Barcelona youth player has represented Spain at various youth levels, making his senior debut in 2008.
