Young boys are closing in on a deal to sign 28-year old star worth £9.7 mYoung Boys Sie schließen einen Deal mit dem 28-jährigen Star im Wert von 9,7 Millionen Pfund ab

Marseille has signed defender Ulisses Garcia from Swiss team Young Boys after the left-back completed his medical, the French club said Tuesday.

Marseille has had limited left-back options all season and is shorthanded after seven of its players were called up for the Africa Cup of Nations.

The 28-year-old Garcia is the second player recruited by the nine-time French champions since the opening of the transfer window, following the arrival of defensive midfielder Jean Onana on loan from Turkish team Besiktas.

Marseille hoped to challenge for a Champions League spot this season but is struggling and lags 15 points behind leader Paris Saint-Germain.
