Mercato: Longoria validates this track at 18M€ for Marseille!
Thanks to their precious success against OGC Nice on their lawn at the Orange Vélodrome in the league on Sunday evening (2-1, goals from Milik and Bakambu), OM – Olympique de Marseille, won by Dimitri Payet and Boubacar Kamara and Valentin Rongier thus consolidated their excellent second place in the Ligue 1 standings, before the international break.
Enough to give more credit to Pablo Longoria and the Marseille leaders who broke their piggy bank during the Mercato last summer to complete the recruitment of Cengiz Ünder, Mattéo Guendouzi, William Saliba, Gerson, Konrad de la Fuente, Luan Peres, Pau Lopez and Amine Harit, not to mention the permanent transfers of Pol Lirola and Leonardo Balerdi, as well as the signings of Sead Kolasinac and Cédric Bakambus acquired in January.
But a big news has fallen concerning the next Mercato OM, where Pablo Longoria would have been well placed on a good track at 18M€ for Olympique de Marseille…
Indeed, according to information from the Daily Mail, the Marseille club trained by Jorge Sampaoli would be very interested in Junior Adamu (20 years old), who would appear at around 18M € by Red Bull Salzburg. Author of 5 goals and 3 assists in 22 games played in the Austrian first division this season, but also an achievement in the Champions League during the draw between RB Salzburg and Bayern Munich in the round of 16 (1-1) , Junior Adamu would also be targeted by AS Monaco as well as several Bundesliga and Premier League teams (Leicester City, Southampton).
Case to follow during the upcoming summer transfer window between OM and the young and very promising Austrian international Junior Adamu, who remains number three in the hierarchy of Red Bull Salzburg attackers behind Karim Adeyemi and Noah Okafor.
