Marseille eyeing Pedro Tiba

Ligue 1 leaders Marseille are considering a January bid for Sporting Braga midfielder Pedro Tiba, according to A Bola.

The French giants aim to further reinforce the squad in the upcoming transfer window as they hope to mount a serious title challenge this term.

And it appears that Sporting Braga midfielder Pedro Tiba is one of the names on Marcelo Bielsa’s radar, with the Argentine reportedly readying a January move.

The 26-year-old spent his early career in Portugal’s lower divisions, but he impressed in his first top flight season at Vitoria Setubal to earn a move to Braga.

Tiba did well to nail down a regular starting berth at Estadio AXA, starting nine league fixtures and scoring one goal in the process.

The attacking midfielder will not be coming on the cheap though given that he is on a five-year contract at the moment and has a €20 million release clause inserted in the deal.
