Dubai's Olympique de Marseille is reportedly set to sign a shirt sponsorship deal with airline Emirates, according to Bloomberg. The rumours arrive following reports that Ligue 1 winner Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will drop sponsorship with the France airline at the end of the current season. The deal with Qatar Sports Investments-owned PSG has been somewhat uncomfortable since the UAE and three other Gulf states imposed a travel and trade embargo on Qatar last year, accusing it of backing terrorism. Marseille's current shirt sponsor is French telecoms company Orange, but the deal expires at the end of the 2018/19 season.
