Faced with the Portuguese striker’s desire to join Canebire rather than England, Olympique de Marseille is on the verge of beating Southampton and Brighton to attract the young Braga striker, Vitinha! Different sources evoke this Tuesday a transfer of 32 M€ for the Portuguese!
Vitinha, the next striker for Olympique de Marseille?
In the Vitinha case, Olympique de Marseille seemed distanced and even resigned on Monday evening. And yet, through negotiations, the Phoenicians have reversed the situation and could achieve a great coup by snatching the Braga striker from English contenders like Southampton and especially the seductive Brighton.
A €32 million transfer for Vitinha!
The English site The Athletic had given the Phocens a first hope in the morning by explaining that Brighton, however presented as the new favorite with a desire to pay the release clause 30 million euros of the Portuguese talent, had finally withdrawn from the file . Various media, French and foreign, then confirmed the return to the saddle of OM on the file. Because yes, the current 3rd in the French championship has taken the lead. With a substantial offer estimated at 32 M€ for the 22-year-old player, according to information from the Portuguese media O Jogo!
The amount may surprise, because it is higher than the player’s release clause, but the Marseillais, supported by their president Pablo Longoria, have more ideas. With this financial arrangement, the residents of the Stade Vlodrome will be able to stagger the payment of the transfer over the next five years (which was impossible by paying the release clause) and thus relieve their short-term finances.
The Portuguese prefer OM
How to explain such a volte-face in this operation? The determination of Vitinha, who always favored the possibility of joining Canebire rather than England, proved decisive. If the information is confirmed, it will be good news for OM. The Marseille club will end the season with a new professional striker to support Alexis Sanchez and will also be happy to have completed the departure of Bamba Dieng Lorient numerically. By attracting what is more a high potential element.
