The Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti was rumoured to be lining up the Rennes winger Sylvain Marveaux to replace Florent Malouda next season, as his contract with the Ligue 1 club runs out in June, but it has been revealed today that Marveaux has instead agreed a pre-contract with Liverpool.
The 24 year-old is currently injured, but his great record of 10 goals from the wing for Rennes last season had persuaded many teams to compete for Marveaux when he became available for a Bosman.
Marveaux was seen at Anfield in December for discussions, and it is being reported that Damien Comolli has now concluded the talks successfully and Marveaux will join Liverpool officially on July 1st this year.
Marveaux has had a troubling groin injury this season, and is scheduled to undergo an operation to fix it next week, so his next game is now certain to be for Liverpool next season.
Rennes general manager Peter Dreossi announced yesterday: “We will never see Sylvain Marveaux in the jersey of Stade Rennais again,”
“He has hardly played this season… Other players have taken his place and showed they are ready – Yacine Brahimi and Abdul Camara, for example.”
If Marveaux recovers well from his surgery he could have many good years ahead of him at Anfield.
