Medina initially arrived on loan before completing a permanent transfer this summer. Having featured as a left-back for Argentina during the World Cup, the former Lens player could now provide a much-needed financial windfall by departing almost immediately.
Club officials would welcome a higher valuation. Sources suggest that if incoming offers reach 25 or 30 million euros, celebrations will quickly follow on the banks of the Vieux Port.
