The Marseille management has been clear: the priority for this end of the transfer window is to slim down the workforce. With qualification for the Champions League and an already successful summer transfer window with the notable arrivals of Alexis Sanchez, Jonathan Clauss, Luis Suarez and undoubtedly that of Eric Bailly, very close to the Olympian club, Frank McCourt, the owner of the ‘OM urgently requires sales.
A year and a half after his arrival in Marseille, Arkadiusz Milik should precisely allow OM to replenish its coffers. Already announced on the departure last year due to a bad agreement with Jorge Sampaoli, the Pole had found playing time with the arrival of Igor Tudor, without really convincing. And according to information from the Italian press, OM-Nantes sounds like the last match played by Milik in the Marseille jersey.
A preference for Depay
And for several days, the Italian media have announced discussions between OM and Juventus to negotiate a transfer of the Pole. And according to the latest news from Sky Sports Italia, the Bianconeri have reached a verbal agreement with Marseille for Arkadiusz Milik around a paying loan of 2 million and a purchase option set at 8 million euros. However, Milik’s arrival at Juve still depends on one thing.
Indeed, Arkadiusz Milik is not the priority of the Turin club. Already in the sights of the club when he was in Lyon, Memphis Depay is highly hoped for by Pavel Nedved and the management of the Old Lady. But the demands of Memphis Depay – who continues to negotiate the termination of his contract with Barca – are seen as too high at the moment. Sky Sports adds that there will be a meeting between management and Allegri on Tuesday. Juve will decide their choice but the Polish forward’s rating would increase. With 16 goals scored in 40 Ligue 1 matches, Milik has had a mixed performance since his arrival in Marseille.
