Frank McCourt is going to have a smile. Regularly, the American businessman asks Pablo Longoria and his teams to sell players at a good price when it comes time for the transfer window. The wish of the owner of Olympique de Marseille will be granted. Yesterday, the Italian press explained that the residents of the Orange Vélodrome would very quickly receive a check for around 2 million euros following the final sale of Nemanja Radonjic to Torino. All the conditions for exercising his purchase option have been met. Very good news for the Phocaeans.
Belongs to a convaincu la Juventus
The latter will obviously receive another one very quickly. Indeed, the Olympians are about to part ways with another loanee for good. This is Arkadiudz Milik. Arrived in the winter of 2021 in Marseille after being shelved in Naples, the Pole had quickly found his marks and the way to the nets with 10 achievements in 16 appearances in all competitions (1 assist). He continued the following season with 20 goals and 2 assists in 37 games, including 24 as a starter. But his agreement with Jorge Sampaoli had not been really very good.
The departure of the Argentinian had therefore been experienced as a breath of fresh air for Milik. An element that intended to make a new start following the arrival of Igor Tudor, who established him from the start. But that was without counting on Juventus. In competition with Memphis Depay, the Pole, less greedy, finally joined Piedmont. Desired by Massimiliano Allegri, the striker came in the form of a paying loan of 2 million euros with a purchase option estimated at the time at 8 million euros by the transalpine press. “Arek” Milik responded very quickly with 4 goals in 7 games in all competitions. He was one of the rare satisfactions of the start of the bianconero season.
The Bianconeri advance with OM
Subsequently, he had a little more trouble finding the net with 4 goals scored between the end of October and January. Which makes a total of 8 achievements in 23 appearances (13 tenures, 2 assists). But the 29-year-old has not been able to heal his statistics since he has been injured in the thigh since January 29 and the match against Monza. Juve had announced an absence of 6 to 8 weeks. This Thursday, the Sports Courier explains that the player, who has been greatly missed by his team, is on his way back and that he took part in collective sessions. He intends to take advantage of the break to refine his preparation and return to service to help Juventus during the final sprint. Afterwards ?
The Pole will a priori stay in Piedmont. This is announced by the Sports Courier. The Italian media explains that the Turinese are very happy with the player, who was the best deal of the summer with a paying loan of 900,000 euros with 800,000 euros in bonuses (1.7 million euros in total). The Italians have therefore decided and want to buy it definitively against a check for 7 million euros (payable in three years), not to mention 2 million more potential bonuses. THE CdS also ensures that contacts have been underway with OM for some time. Next month, Bianconero leaders will also meet with Milik’s entourage. Indeed, his option must be exercised in April (the 30th at the latest). Time is therefore running out for Juve, who have decided to continue the adventure with Milik. Good news for OM and its finances.
