Marseille have reportedly held initial discussions with an agent over the possible transfer of Younes Belhanda from Dynamo Kiev.
The ex-Montpellier HSC winger is thought to be unhappy at the Ukrainian club and was linked with a move to Lyon.
However, beIN Sports claims that OL opted against a move for the 25-year-old when they decided to swoop for former Les Phoceens star Mathieu Valbuena, who joined Les Gones from Dynamo Moscow.
It is thought that Marseille have since made contact with a representative for discussions over a potential deal for the Moroccan international.
OM are without a point in the Ligue 1 campaign so far after defeats against Caen and Reims in their opening games.
