Marseille have made a £8.3m bid for Bournemouth, Watford and West Brom target Morgan Sanson.
The midfielder is in high demand during the January transfer window and Montpellier president Louis Nicollin has said he can leave if an offer between £8.5m to £13m is made.
Bournemouth, Watford and West Brom are all interested in the 22-year-old, but as of yet none of the trio has placed a bid.
And, according to L'Equipe, they risk missing out on Sanson as Marseille have made a formal offer of £8.
