The former Lobi Stars full back, who competed for Nigeria at the World Cup in South Africa, has told the French champions he wants to take up an offer from UEFA Europa League winners Atletico Madrid.
But Marseille's coach Didier Deschamps says he is not willing to let the Nigerian go because he believes his other left-back, the ageing Argentine international, Gabriel Heinze, will not complete an entire season with injury. Marseille not only defend their League title, but also play in the UEFA Champions League in the coming months.
KickOffNigeria.com quoting French news report says Taiwo has already had discussions with Atletico, who have tabled a 4.5-million Euro offer.
Last season, Deschamps rejected a 12-million Euro offer from Manchester City for the Super Eagles' free-kick specialist.
