Transfer market, Marseille falls on Milik

If the night of the end of the year (2020) can bring advice, then we can say that at the dawn of the new year (2021) Arek Milik woke up with a very Marseille idea, his name is Olympique. As the child thrives on moods and often changes his mind, we certainly cannot put both hands on the fire and guarantee that that will be fate. But his opening is so great that today Villas Boas is the closest coach to pouncing on the Polish striker, the protagonist of a thousand plots of the transfer market since last summer without one really passing. Now, we are pretty close to a tipping point.

THE OFFER OF 10

–

Napoli made a clear and understandable reversal of the required figures no later than three months ago. For the record, it must be remembered that on the night of October 4-5, a few hours after the close of the last day of summer, Fiorentina had proposed around 25 million. A huge amount, if we think that the contract would have expired in June, but Milik also said no to the offer of four million net per season. For this reason, approaching the contract date, Napoli has lowered the request on the card: before it asked for 25, in December it was 15, now it is also satisfied with 10-12 million, knowing that since February 1 will charge zero euros. . And here perhaps all the questions of principle signed by De Laurentiis may have a cut: it is normal that the president did not like some attitudes that made him lose a bundle of millions, however it would be useless to ask for impossible figures and then keep a handful of flies on but no. Olympique has gone up to 10 million, including bonuses, and could add something else to find a solution. The profile, from one to ten, I like … eleven, there are reports from a few years ago when they tried to take Arkadiusz from Marseille, but they hit the wall of non-transferability. At that time Milik was not on the market, Napoli thought they had found the center forward of the present and the future, they did not imagine that two crusader injuries would have undermined that necessary minimum of serenity, to the point that very soon there would be a break. And then Villas Boas asked to try again, finding fertile ground, a fairly free path. Milik knows that by joining Marseille now, he would do so for the next three or four years, he knows this and is dissolving all reserves. Otherwise, you could sign up for a free transfer for anyone, but the time would drag on and it certainly wouldn’t be a bargain for your desire to get back in business immediately.

THE DIFFERENCE WITH SIMEONE

–

Actually there would be another suitor, his name is Atlético de Madrid, already very attentive to the evolution of history since last summer. Simeone has lost Diego Costa and would like another striker, a legitimate request. But the problem is that the owner is named Luis Suárez, he is certainly not the last of the company. In Madrid, Mr. Milik would be an alternative, in Marseille a potential and undisputed owner. In addition, the French offer for the card has doubled, Atlético offers only five million more bonuses, a not inconsiderable detail that clearly shifts the balance towards France. If in the next few days Milik confirms the opening and if there are no other suitors, Marseille’s change of course would become a certainty. And Villas Boas would probably be a happy coach.
