Southampton are seeking a buyer for Sofiane Boufal.
The midfielder is back at St Mary's after spending last season on-loan with Celta Vigo.
L'Equipe says Saints have offered the Morocco international to Olympique Marseille.
However, OM coach Andre Villas-Boas turned down the proposal.
AVB would prefer to stick with Florian Thauvin rather than go with Boufal.
