Rayo Vallecano in talks to land Marseille star

Stopper Cornelius is for his part fresh off a return to base in Marseille earlier this summer. After struggling to establish himself as a regular during a loan stint in Scotland , Rangers opted against making the Canadian international's signing permanent.
Considered surplus to requirements in Bruno Génésio's squad, too, Cornelius has in turn been widely tipped for a fresh Marseille exit over the days ahead.
And as alluded to above, on Monday, a new potential landing spot for the 28-year-old has emerged, in Spanish football. As per a report from market insider Fabrizio Romano:
'Rayo Vallecano are in talks to sign Canadian international central back Derek Cornelius from OM. Negotiations ongoing on loan with buy option from Olympique Marseille.'
