André Villas-Boas' Marseille are set to make an effort to try and sign a defender this summer.
In the last few days the name of Balerdi (Borussia Dortmund) and Todibo, a player who belongs to Barça, have both been linked.
The newspaper 'AS' informs that the French team will try to loan him in and add a buyout option to the deal, which Barcelona would not be prepared to accept.
Barcelona want a permanent transfer for no less than 25 million euros, with the objective to reuse them for another operation in the market.
Remember that Todibo has played just 326 minutes at Barça, while this last season in Schalke 04 he has played 500 minutes.
