Olympique Marseille have pulled back from talks for Leicester City striker Islam Slimani.

After a season on-loan with AS Monaco, Slimani has been encouraged to find himself a new club by the Foxes.

Marseille have expressed interest, though Le 10 Sport says the initial enquiry hasn't gone any further.

Former club Sporting CP, however, are keen - if Leicester are willing to keep his asking price affordable.

Benfica have also been mentioned, where Slimani's former Sporting coach Jorge Jesus is now in charge.
