Sarr, in an interview with La Provence, said other factors would determine before he can decide to leave André Villas-Boas’ team. One such factor is his age. The pacy right-sided utility defender said with his age; opportunities will be scarcer in the future.

According to ‘Le Parisien,’ Sarr that has already played 178 games for Marseille, is a top target for the Spanish clubs. He has so far scored eight goals in the last five seasons with the club.

The 28-year-old joined Marseille from Metz in the 2015-16 season and had since become an integral part of the team.
