Marseille have pushed the boat out in their attempts to convince in-demand Boubacar Kamara to put pen to paper on a professional contract at the club.
Time is running out for Marseille to convince the 17-year-old to agree to start his professional career at the Stade Velodrome and matters are pressing given interest from Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund, Chelsea and Manchester City.
Marseille are offering the young centre-back a wage of €12,000 per month, along with a signing-on bonus of €24,000.

"This time, OM have made a definite effort", a recruitment officer at the club was quoted as saying by French outlet So Foot.
