Karsdorp, Milik, Ounahi… new info on the OM transfer window

OM, 4th in Ligue 1, should have a turbulent winter transfer window. The Spanish president of the Marseille club, Pablo Longoria, is on the lookout for several issues.

Pushed out by José Mourinho, Rick Karsdorp should leave AS Roma this winter. OM plans to recruit the Dutchman, to make him the competitor of Jonathan Clauss, while Issa Kaboré, on loan from Manchester City, would not have convinced. Followed by several European clubs, the AS Roma side would not be in Juventus’ plans. Rick Karsdorp’s clan reportedly offered the player’s services, but the Bianconeri reportedly refused the offer.

Despite Juventus’ lack of interest in the case, OM still have competition, in France and abroad.

Milik convinced Allegri

Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, interviewed about Soccer News, gave the latest trends in the file of the Polish Arkadiusz Milik. According to the journalist, Juve’s legal troubles could change the situation in the case. Before this event, the leaders of the Italian club, who have now all left the club, discussed with their counterparts at OM for a permanent transfer of Arkadiusz Milik, at the end of his loan (June 2023). The departure of the management casts doubt on the interest of Juventus in the case, but not that of the coach, Massimiliano Allegri, convinced by the 28-year-old Pole. This is why, according to Gianluca Di Marzio, “Juventus will opt for a permanent contract”.

The Italian club would have a purchase option of less than 10M euros for Arkadiusz Milik, author of 6 goals in 17 games.

Tough competition for Ounahi

Finally, the Azzedine Ounahi file is complicated. The 22-year-old Angevin, author of a great 2022 World Cup with Morocco, is tracked by a British team, Leicester, which has great financial means. The English club in particular is thinking of offering around 45M euros to Angers for the Moroccan.

OM should not pursue the Azzedine Ounahi track, especially since Inter are also arriving on the file according to the Gazzetta dello Sport.
