Olympique Marseille chief Andoni Zubizarreta is chasing Valencia defender Aymen Abdennour.
L'Equipe says Zubi and OM coach Rudi Garcia are focusing on bringing Abdennour back to France in January.
The former AS Monaco defender is an OM priority and talks are set to commence.
Abdennour joined Los Che 18 months ago and has battled for consistency in Spain.
OM will seek to do business over a permanent deal next month.
