A Marseille striker close to signing in Turkey
OM Mercato: Announced with insistence on the side of Spain, a young striker from Marseille is finally close to bouncing back Turkey.
OM Mercato: Konrad de la Fuente finally against Turkey
Arrived during the last summer transfer window from the FC Barcelona training center, Konrad de la Fuente was presented by OM recruiters as a real crack. A season later, the finding is more or less disappointing, since the former La Masia striker failed to convince. Regularly hampered in his tracks by physical problems, the American international only played 16 small Ligue 1 matches last season. And the arrival ofIgor Tudor did not improve his situation in Marseille.
Konrad de la Fuente does not really fit into the plans of the new coach of Olympique de Marseille, who prefers to put on other options to animate his offensive sector. Enough to push the young player towards the exit door. Recently, the former FC Barcelona player was strongly announced to return to Spain. An agreement with the Real Valladolid was even mentioned. But the young Marseille striker could, against all odds, put his bags down in Turkey.
OM Mercato: Besiktas in pole position for Konrad de la Fuente
Turkish media Aspor ensures that the Besiktas is in pole position to secure the services of Kornad de la Fuente. Despite the persistent interest of Real Valladolid, the Istanbul team went on the offensive in this matter with the firm intention of winning the bet as quickly as possible. The source explains that the Turkish leaders intensified negotiations with their Marseille counterparts over the weekend and are said to be close to concluding a loan agreement for the young American striker.
These negotiations obviously have a good chance of succeeding, because OM would not be against temporarily canceling their young player in the club but reducing their payroll. Negotiations between the different parties would therefore continue around the payment of the salary of the young American striker. It remains to be seen what the reaction of Real Sociedad will be. Whatever, Konrad de la Fuente Had to leave OM this summer. His departure should facilitate the arrival ofAlexis Sanchezexpected in Marseille in the coming days.
