Andoni Zubizarreta could be heading to Marseille after president Jacques-Henri Eyraud confirmed the former Barcelona sporting director met with newly appointed coach Rudi Garcia.
Garcia took charge of the Ligue 1 giants on Thursday, replacing Franck Passi at the helm ahead of Sunday's Classique against Paris Saint-Germain.
His appointment followed American businessman Frank McCourt's purchase of Marseille, and reports have suggested Zubizarreta could also join as part of an overhaul of the club's management structure.
"Rudi Garcia and Andoni Zubizarreta met, but we will see about the sporting director later – this was Rudi's week," said Eyraud in an appearance on Telefoot.
"In the January transfer window we will try to seize the opportunities that arise. We will be on the lookout, but we will strike hard this summer," said the president.
"I love Gomis. He is very compatible with Marseille. If he wants to continue with us, it's not a problem.
"Diarra is a complicated issue. He is very intelligent and is a leader in the dressing room. We will be delighted if he stays."
