Mercato: Marseille wants Joaquin Correa (Inter Milan)
In search of a striker, Olympique de Marseille wants to obtain the loan of Joaquin Correa, who belongs to Inter Milan.
Olympique de Marseille is slowly but surely starting its summer transfer window. While waiting for the DNCG’s response on Tuesday concerning the Phocaeans’ room for maneuver in terms of transfers, President Pablo Longoria has already got to work. Mainly in the offensive sector.
Corréa crossed out by the competition?
And a player has seen his name associated with OM on several occasions: Joaquin Correa, definitively bought by Inter Milan from Lazio Rome this summer for €23.5m, after a loan with an almost obligatory purchase option . But the Argentinian does not enter into Simone Inzaghi’s plans, and the question of his departure arises.

Not to miss
It must be said that Inter is preparing to welcome Henrik Mkhitaryan, Paulo Dybala and perhaps Romelu Lukaku. Which would leave little room for Correa… In Marseille, coach Jorge Sampaoli understood this well and, according to information from Corriere dello Sport, he will have to force him to attract his former player, whom he knew with the Argentina and Seville.
OM want a loan
For the moment, OM have not yet taken the temperature with Inter. But it could quickly do so after the response from the DNCG. Then comes the negotiation phase.
And Longoria will have a job since his club cannot afford to buy Correa: a loan, probably with an option to buy, will therefore be requested. It remains to be seen whether Inter and the player will accept.
