Marseille attack a Serie A scorer
OM Mercato: recruiting in attack is a priority for Marseille this summer. Pablo Longoria is preparing an offer for Luis Muriel.
OM Mercato: Towards a Longoria offensive for Luis Muriel
The future ofArkadiusz Milik still remains unclear with Olympique de Marseille. The 28-year-old striker has been on loan with the option to buy from Napoli since January 2021. If he has scored goals with OM, his management by Jorge Sampaoli could lead to his departure from the Marseille club. Preferring a more mobile profile at the forefront of the attack, the Marseille coach did not often hesitate to do without the services of the Pole. Which has not often hidden his anger following the choices of his coach. While a departure from Milik remains relevant, Pablo Longoria advances his pawns for his replacement. The Marseille president would like to strike a nice blow in Serie A. According to The Gazzetta dello Sportthe Marseille manager would even draw up an offer for Luis Muriel. The 31-year-old Colombian only has a one-year contract with Atalanta Bergamo.
The amount of Marseille’s offer for Muriel revealed
The Italian publication notes that La Dea would not be against a transfer of Luis Muriel this summer. Especially since he only has one year left on his contract with the 10th in Serie A. The Colombian international would not be against signing for OM. The prospect of competing in the Champions League again would appeal to him. As for the vice-champion of France, he was preparing an offer of up to 12 million euros to recruit the Colombian with 45 caps (8 goals).
But this proposal should not be enough to convince Atalanta. The Italian club would expect at least 15 million euros for its number 9. Which had been recruited against 21 million euros in 2019 from Sevilla FC. Pablo Longoria is therefore warned.
