Celtic should insist on only sell Ntcham not loan him because Marseille are desperate to sign midfield player. SN report that Marseille offer Dinamo Zagreb four offers for Lovro Majer, first of 8m€, second for 10m€, third 12+4m bonus, and last one take it or leave it for 15m€ in one payment.
So looks like Ntcham is their plan B.

{Ed002's Note - It is actually a Plan D for l'OM. The lady from Marseille believes that Mr Lawwell will sign off on the sale on a "loan to buy" basis for Olivier Ntcham this afternoon.}

I would keep him if they just offer loan deal, if they don't buy him when loan ends his value will fall a lot.
Sell or loan with obligation to buy.

We’re the rumours of 12-14m from Porto last summer genuine or paper talk?

Olivier Ntcham may well be a moody so and so but he has so much ability and quality. Our coaching set-up led by the manager is clearly inept. Evidenced by results and the fact EVERY player is going backwards? If Sly are correct and its 4.5M in the Summer this outcome highlights the clubs incompetence. I don’t think the player is blameless, his performances have been awful this season but he has been criminally mismanaged IMO.

PSav, what are you on, Nitcham is a lazy arrogant b, who has not lifted a leg for the club since Dembelle left. He is the criminal, stealing 18k a week. Good Riddance to bad rubbish.

Chill Malika20, it’s just an opinion. and I’m not on anything (yet) lol. To repeat, I don’t think Ntcham has performed this season. Do you think the manager and coaching staff have managed him properly? If it’s laziness, how has that been allowed to develop? Whether he’s a player who wants to leave or is just a numpty generally it’s the managers job to get him out on the pitch playing. I’m not overly defending Ntcham, I just think any player or squad take their lead from the manager.

The rumour in France is that it's nowhere near that. It's actually around 5 million euros after the loan deal. I feel like we could have got more for him - especially in france!

{Ed007's Note - Wasn't it reported - not rumoured - in France it was €10 million? It's weird how supporters always focus on the negativity.}

Sky are reporting its 4.5 million but then they also said we signed Ben Davies 🙈.

{Ed007's Note - No they didn't, it was just "incorrect wording" they used. I've been saying for 10 years now that people need to stop taking what Sly say seriously, it's actually all aimed at affecting betting and it's patterns.
FIFA run the TMS which you can read about HERE on Annexe 3 (Page 53) but to summarise it:

The full contracted costs and all parties involved in any and all transfers are required to be reported by clubs to FIFA who maintain the Transfer Matching System (International and Domestic) to record all details and costs for all transfers of professional players in all FIFA member states. Clubs are required to submit this data and there are sanctions imposed if they don't - ranging from warnings, through fines, competition bans and even relegation. Most sanctions to date have been warnings or fines - and plenty of clubs have suffered sanctions including Santos, St Truidense, Twente, Sevilla etc.. The users of the database TMS data base are the clubs and the associations (e.g. The FA). There are certain others that have full access to the data but no ability to change it - this is to ensure transparency and includes one News Agency, but it is not public data.

Sky are not the permitted news agency but there's a rumour around Sly that one of our Eds are part of it.}
