# Jason Denayer in talks with Marseille over prospective loan

Jason Denayer is in talks with Marseille over a loan move after a switch to Turkish club Galatasaray fell through, according to[Goal.com.](https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2892/transfer-zone/2015/08/25/14751742/marseille-pounce-for-denayer-as-galatasaray-loan-offer?ICID=PP_107904)

The Belgian international was in Istanbul on Monday night to watch Galatasaray’s 2-1 defeat to newly promoted Osmanlispor, but the Turkish champions’ insistence on a right-to-buy clause scuppered the deal.

Denayer has now travelled to Marseille to discuss terms with the Ligue 1 giants amidst interested from Sunderland and German club Bayer Leverkusen.

City have granted the 20-year-old permission to speak to clubs over a loan move after the acquisition of Nicolas Otamendi demoted Denayer to fifth choice at centre-back behind Vincent Kompany, Eliaquim Mangala and Martin Demichelis.

He would be paired alongside former City youngster Karim Rekik at Marseille, who joined the French club this summer.

Denayer enjoyed a stellar season on loan at Celtic in 2014/15, winning the Scottish Young Player of the Year award and making three appearances for Belgium.
