Martin Satriano could soon return to Ligue 1 as Olympique Marseille plot a late summer swoop for the Inter Milan castaway.
According to Corriere dello Sport, as reported by FCInter1908, Les Olympiens are willing to lodge a loan bid for the 23-year-old.
However, Inter are holding out for a permanent deal. They’ve pinned a €6 million price tag on Satriano’s shoulders.
That’s the figure they received from Brest several days ago.
Satriano spent last season on loan at the Stade Francis-Le Ble, helping Les Pirates secure Champions League qualification.
Despite Brest’s remarkable success, the Nacional Montevideo forward is reluctant to return to his old stomping ground.
Indeed, he rejected the French club’s contract proposal, even though Inter were ready to sanction a move.
He’s gunning for a more high-profile switch, and Marseille could provide one.
Inter and Marseille already engineered one deal earlier in August.
Valentin Carboni moved to the Stade Velodrome on loan with an option to buy.
Satriano could soon follow in the Argentine’s footsteps. But Roberto De Zerbi’s side must change the deal formula.

There’s a feeling Satriano would fancy a switch to Marseille.
It’s been a busy summer for De Zerbi’s side following a sub-par eighth-place finish last term.
Apart from Carboni, they’ve pulled off a few other massive deals.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Mason Greenwood have teamed up with their new-look squad.
Given De Zerbi boasts a wealth of attacking options, Satriano’s ambition to join Marseille is somewhat puzzling.
Though he has no future at Inter, he’ll unlikely play a standout role at the Velodrome.
But the only thing that matters for the Nerazzurri is to offload their fringe star.
Joaquin Correa should be the one to follow.
Yet, selling the Argentine has proved a near-impossible task thus far.
