When he was signed to Atalanta Bergamo in January 2022 after 3 and a half years of high flying in Sassuolo punctuated in particular by XXL performances in Serie A and an honorary title of best dribbler in the championship, Jéremie Boga did not expect to know such contrasting beginnings in the Lombard city. However, the former great hope of Chelsea had landed in Bergamo under the impetus of the emblematic coach of Atalanta Gian Piero Gasperini, then a fan of his style of play and his ability to eliminate opponents.
After six interesting months of adaptation with 22 matches played in all competitions, the playing time of the Ivorian international melted like snow in the sun during the first part of the 2022-23 season. Blame it on the style of play of the player who no longer really stuck to the tactical asperities of Gasperini. Enough to start seriously questioning Boga (25) about the follow-up to his career. Already last summer, several clubs had already come to the news and Leicester had been very close to completing its arrival at the very end of the summer transfer window. But financial disputes had derailed the operation at the last minute.
OM and Pablo Longoria are always on the lookout
This winter and after only six ends of matches played with the Italian club, the twirling attacking midfielder has ants in his legs and wants to find some playing time. If the Bergamasque technician admitted behind the scenes to think about a more optimal way to use the qualities of the former Rennais, the possibility of seeing him go on loan in the coming days is growing more and more. If Leicester is still very interested in England and has renewed some contacts, it is not the only one since Bournemouth is also in the game, as an internal source from Atalanta told us. Fiorentina also appreciates the qualities of the Ivorian dribbler just like Valencia in Spain. But a French club and not the least recently took some information on the situation of the 25-year-old attacking midfielder. According to our information, it is Olympique de Marseille.
It’s no secret that Pablo Longoria has been enjoying the native of Marseille for a long time and OM had already taken the temperature in May 2021 for a dry transfer before meeting the player’s entourage in July of that same year. . This time, it would be a loan of a few months to compensate for the long unavailability of Amine Harit absent until the end of the season. But the operation is complex and the boss of OM has more than one option in his pocket. Especially since the latter necessarily knows the strong European competition around Jérémie Boga and his hesitation to leave Bergamo. Anyway, if he were to leave Atalanta, the Ivorian international would like to leave Italy … It remains to be seen where he could land in January.
