I still think this will happen, but one thing that hasn't been mentioned is the EU Referendum. There's a strong possibly sterling (the currency, not the 'footballer') will strengthen if we vote in on Thursday, and a near-certainty that it will drastically weaken if we leave. Marseille will obviously be concerned with how many Euros they're getting, but given the payment in transfer is seldom mostly up-front these days we have no idea until at least Friday of about how much we'd be committing to in pounds. Given that and the European Championships, I can't see this being especially quick.
