It is reported that Marseille are still targeting Malinovsky and will continue to make attempts to loan him. At the moment, the Provencals are working on options for a new proposal for Atalanta.
It is also specified that the coaching staff of Marseille sees in the person of Malinovsky a replacement for Gerson, who went to the Brazilian Flamengo.
