Marseille have made a final contract offer to Arsenal and Chelsea linked defensive prodigy Boubacar Kamara and are hopeful of seeing him sign the deal with the club.
A product of the Marseille academy, the 17-year-old defender has already made his debut for the club in a cup game and has been a source of excitement with his performances in youth football.
However, he is yet to sign a professional contract with the Ligue 1 club despite Marseille’s efforts over the last few months to convince him to continue at the French outfit.
Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund are all keeping a close watch on the young defender and are ready to snare him away from Marseille in the summer for a paltry compensation fee.
Marseille have played their last hand in the transfer tussle as according to French sports daily L’Equipe, they proposed a final offer to Kamara’s representatives towards the end of last month.

Marseille sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta met the player’s agent on Sunday to hold further talks as the Ligue 1 giants look to convince the people around Kamara about their project.
However, the final decision is expected to be made by the 17-year-old defender, who is currently deliberating over his options ahead of the window.
