French club refuse service of veteran playmaker

French champions Marseille have turned down the services of Real Madrid legend Guti. Real and Guti's agents suggested the 33-year-old veteran to the French giants, but the club were not interested in the Spanish playmaker. Jose Anigo, sport director at Marseille, admitted Guti is not the type of player the club are looking to bring to the Stade Velodrome. "It is not what we are looking for," Anigo told 10 Sport. "Financially and on the playing side, it is not interesting to us." Guti, who signed with Real in 1995, is now reportedly set to pen a two-year deal with Turkish club Besiktas, as he is surplus to requirements at the Bernabeu under new boss Jose Mourinho.
