In order to make an attacking boost for the club, Olympique Marseille targets Napoli‘s Arkadiusz Milik as a potential signature. Here are some reasons why the French side would want to do so.
Firstly, Olympique Marseille is now suffering badly from the global pandemic. In other words, Marseille is not ready for any big transfer at this moment or anytime soon in the future. We all understand they focus on someone who is about to expire their contract with their current club is a smarter choice. And that is an understandable explanation for why Olympique Marseille targets Napoli’s Milik.
Milik is about to be out of contract with Napoli, and he is seeking a new challenge. Coming to Napoli from the Dutch side – Ajax Amsterdam, the Polish striker has so far scored for his Italian team a total of 48 goals in 122 matches. Before, he scored a total of 47 goals in 75 matches for Ajax Amsterdam from 2014 to 2016. Milik is absolutely a decent player of Poland, but he is not on the list of Napoli this year, being put in the closet after a fail move to AS Roma last summer.
But Marseille is keen on a rescue for Milik. Honestly, the Polish International star is a striker who can do everything that is required for a striker to accomplish. It is more sensible recognizing the fact that even such a big club in Italy like AS Roma wanted to sign Milik for their team last summer.
He is on the blacklist of Napoli right now as the player refused to sign his extension with the club. Aurelio De Laurentiis has a conflict with his Polish player, and it is reasonable if the president of Napoli allows a transfer talk happens between Milik and Napoli.
The fee for this transfer is still disclosure. However, according to Marseille representative, the French side can make a transfer alike to what has happened between Barcelona’s Arthur and Juventus’ Miralem Pjanic last Winter. An exchange between Marseille and Napoli can happen as the same as what has happened in the exchange of Barcelona’s Arthur for Juventus’ Miralem Pjanic.
Florin Thauvin is about to expire his contact with Marseille, and he can be the one who move to Napoli in order to convince the Italian side give up on Milik.
Still, it is all theory and nothing for sure is happening soon. Marseille confirms that they have some first talk with the player representative but a brief talk with Napoli is mysterious for now. More updates on this transfer should be available as soon as possible.
