Former QPR and Tottenham midfielder Adel Taarabt wants to move to Marseille.
The 27-year-old is now with Benfica, but is desperate to leave the club and "return home".
He told France Football: "It is the city where I grew up, where my parents live. It would be nice to go back home, to my family.
"For me it would be the perfect club, the one I need. With the experience I have, I know what a club like Marseille would expect of me."
