Laurent Blanc reckons that Anyone who is interested in buying Marouane Chamakh will have to do the deal in the next couple of weeks or they will miss out. A report on Sky Sports said: Bordeaux coach Laurent Blanc believes that unless Marouane Chamakh seals a swift move away from the club he will stay for the season.
The 25-year-old France-born Morocco international is being linked with a move to the Premier League with Sunderland reportedly joining Arsenal in the battle for his services.
Bordeaux are keen to tie down Chamakh on a new long-term deal, but they find themselves in real danger of losing him on the cheap this summer as he has just a year left on his existing contract.
Canadian trip
With Bordeaux due to travel to Montreal on 22nd July for a pre-season tour, Blanc does not believe Chamakh will leave les Girondins if he joins his team-mates and boards the flight to Canada.
“It must happen quickly,” said Blanc on a possible deal for Chamakh.
“If Marouane comes with us to Montreal there will be a good chance he’ll spend the season with Bordeaux.”
Arsene Wenger has said he will only buy Chamakh if Adebayor is sold. Is that likely to happen in the next two weeks?
