Olympique de Marseille are very close to completing the arrival of striker Cdric Bakambu. Free since leaving China, the Congolese international must commit to two and a half years with OM.
Bakambu a brill Villarreal (2015-2018)
Barring a rebound, Olympique de Marseille has found its new attacker. Looking for a new offensive option to pauler Arkadiusz Milik during the second part of the season, the phocen club is about to complete the arrival of Cdric Bakambu!
Free from any contract since the end of his adventure with Beijing Guoan on December 31, the 30-year-old has almost reached an agreement with OM for a two-and-a-half-year contract, L’Equipe announced on Tuesday. His signature is expected in the coming days. All that remains is the medical visit and the final details to settle to finalize the operation.
Sampaoli made the difference
Also supported by Lyon, Lille, Nice or FC Sville, the native of Ivry-sur-Seine was convinced during a discussion with Jorge Sampaoli. The one who had almost signed for FC Barcelona two years ago felt that the Marseille coach really wanted him, which tipped the scales in favor of OM despite the competition in this matter.
In line with its summer transfer window, Marseille is therefore preparing to sign yet another nice blow on the transfer market by recruiting a free player recognized for his finisher abilities, which made Villarreal happy (47 goals in 105 games) and of Benjing Guoan (58 goals in 87 games), and his game intelligence. A great deal in prospect for the Olympians.
