Morocco captain, central defender Romain Saïss (33, Besiktas) is of interest to OM according to RMC Sport.

Former RMC Sport journalist Mohamed Bouhafsi revealed on Twitter this morning that the OM had an agreement with two players, including an international central defender who played at the World Cup in Qatar. Many had thought of Romain Saïss, the Moroccan captain who had already been linked with Marseille last year.

Well, according to RMC Sport, OM have decided to make a move for the 33-year-old central defender, who has been with Besiktas since last year after spells with Wolverhampton, Angers and Le Havre.

Besiktas demand €4m for Romain Saïss

The international team-mate of Amine Harit and Azzedine Ounahi is keen to join OM, according to RMC Sport, which reports that Romain Saïss is in talks with Pablo Longoria about a two-year contract, or even a three-year deal with a season's option. OM are also already in talks with Besiktas, who are asking for around €4 million. A price that could be lowered after negotiations.

RMC Sport reports that RC Lens are also interested in the Moroccan international, who did very well at the last World Cup in Qatar.
