MANCHESTER UNITED transfer target Boubacar Kamara is reportedly refusing to agree new terms with Marseille.

The Frenchman’s contract stalemate opens up the possibility of a January exit.

According to L’Équipe, Marseille’s offer on the table would have made Kamara the highest earner at the French club.

But Marseille also want Kamara to change his representation, like they have done for fellow midfielder Valentin Rongier.

If the situation isn’t resolved, the likes of Man Utd can agree a pre-contract with the 22-year-old from January 1.

And at this point, a departure looks more likely.

Tensions between the player and the club have rose in recent weeks.

After Marseille’s Europa League defeat to Galatasaray, the club reportedly tried to get the player to address the media on his contract dispute.

But Kamara didn’t show up to the press conference.

Kamara would face the press four days later but no comment on his future was made.

Club president Pablo Longoria remains hopeful the hot prospect will extend his stay.
