Marseille's need for attackers has increased following the sale of Mamadou Niang to Fenerbahce, with fellow forward Hatem Ben Arfa also keen to leave the French champions, either for Newcastle United or Werder Bremen.
And Remy's representitive, Frederic Guerra, has revealed that Didier Deschamps' side has been in touch.
"OM contacted me, it’s true,” he told RMC. “I can just confirm that I am working hard."
Harry Redknapp's side needed goals from Sebastien Bassong and Roman Pavlyuchenko to keep their hopes of progression alive on Tuesday night after falling 3-0 behind to Swiss underdogs Young Boys of Berne.

Remy is expected to cost in the region of €13 million.
