Khalid Boulahrouz a big target for Marseille boss Eric Gerets.

But Marseille have now emerged as serious contenders for his signature after
Gerets admitted today that he has asked the club's directors to buy the Dutchman.

"I have handed a list of the reinforcements that I want to the board and he
(Boulahrouz) is on it," Gerets told Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf.

"He's a player who interests us. It is now up to them (the board) to contact
Chelsea. I don't know if that will happen. It could do."

He added: "I don't know how much Boulahrouz would cost. That is not my area.
But I would really like to have him."

Boulahrouz joined Chelsea in August 2006, playing 23 times for the Londoners
before his loan move to Spain.
