Bordeaux goalkeeper Cédric Carrasso can see Olympique Marseille re-signing Steve Mandanda.
The France international has struggled in his first season at Crystal Palace and is being linked with a return to OM.
Asked for his thoughts, Carasso told SFR Sport: "Mandanda had a complicated year at Crystal Palace.
"As a foreigner, you have to go at the right time and with a good club. It's true that Steve had a tough season.
"He is likely to rebound in the south (of France, Marseille). It's a choice, you have to find the right balance."
