Marseille have rekindled their interest in Leicester City star Islam Slimani as they aim to bring in a new striker before the transfer window closes.
Leicester are willing to sell the former Sporting Lisbon man, but want between €25m and €30m, a figure Marseille consider too high.
They had dropped their interest, but now the French club are keen again, according to French sports daily L'Equipe.
Marseille are hoping they may be able to convince Leicester to let Slimani leave on loan and are prepared for some hard bargaining with the Premier League side.
Marseille are also interested in Liverpool striker Divock Origi and are examining the possibility of paying the Reds to take him on loan.
