For the moment, Marseille have not followed up their recent interest. Fiorentina and Espanyol have had the player on their radar for consecutive transfer windows, but the most likely situation for Debuchy at the time of writing appears to be a 6 month loan deal this month.

The problem? Barring a couple of Turkish outfits, who have been rebuffed by Debuchy, not a single club has positioned themselves in a concrete way yet. However, there is a long way to go in this January window. Debuchy is looking for the exit door.
