Ligue 2 side RC Lens defender Loïck Landre is set to join Serie A outfit Genoa at the end of the season, according to our colleagues at Foot Mercato.

Landre’s current deal with the French second division outfit finishes at the end of the season and he is now free to negotiate a pre-contract with whomever he wants.

Italian side Genoa are very interested in the player and are negotiating a four year contract with Landre for him to join for free in summer. The Serie A club would like the player this month and are negotiating with Lens to see if they will let him go. If they do, then Landre will sign a 4.5 year deal instead.

Genoa in pole position, but nothing is agreed to yet.

Crystal Palace goalkeeper Steve Mandanda met with Marseille Sporting Director Andoni Zubizarreta about a possible return to the Ligue 1 club last month, according to our colleagues at L’Équipe.

The news first filtered out last night when RTL evoked the possibility of a Mandanda return. The French international occupied the first choice goalkeeper slot upon his arrival, but following an injury, Wayne Hennessey appears set to retain his place despite Mandanda’s return to fitness.

Mandanda is understood to be nostalgic about a possible return to Marseille, having left the club in summer so that it could raise finances rather than anything else. The door appears to be open.

More undoubtedly to follow in the coming days…

Serie A side Atalanta have rejected an offer with €25m plus bonuses in the last 48 hours from PSG for Ivorian midfielder Franck Kessié, according to Sky Italia.

Monaco have completed the signing of Flamengo left back Jorge on a five-year-deal for an €8.5m fee.

The young Brazilian could be yet another good buy from Monaco, as the 20-year-old could well be nurtured into a top full back in the near future.

Jorge, who had previously worked his way up from the youth set ups at Flamengo, leaves his boyhood club in search of making a name in mainland Europe and in one of the top leagues in Europe.

The full back managed to make 49 appearances in all competitions for his old club, managing three goals and three assists in his short time at the club.
