At the end of the contract next June, Boubacar Kamara has decided to leave the free OM at the end of his lease. A huge shortfall for the Marseille club, especially since many clubs are already on the lookout to recruit him.
Like Kylian Mbappé at PSG , Boubacar Kamara gives cold sweats to OM . Biggest market value of the Marseille club, the young Marseillais sees his contract end next June and Pablo Longoria was not very optimistic on this file. “The talks have been open for a long time, they have intensified lately. It’s an important asset for the club, I hope it will continue. But there is not only one party in the negotiations, it must be the general will “, confided the president of OM in the columns of L'Equipe. Pablo Longoria therefore pointed to the will of the player and his entourage. Boubacar Kamara also spoke of his situation at a press conference in recent days: “My representatives are handling all of this, but it is confidential. It’s not for me to speak out on this, it’s my reps handling it. I only focus on the field. What I want is to keep working and improving. Win titles and work in good conditions. When I make up my mind I'll be the first to say it. Have I made a decision? I am still thinking ”. And it seems that the thinking has evolved.
Kamara would have decided to leave
Indeed, according to information from The Athletic, Boubacar Kamara would have decided to not to extend his contract to OM and will therefore leave free at the end of the season. A big blow for the Marseillais who should therefore sit on a nice check given the market value of the defensive midfielder. Consequently, several clubs are already on the lookout to recover Boubacar Kamara like Newcastle . The Magpies had already tried the coup last summer by transmitting an offer of around 15M € that the OM had accepted. But it was the player who refused to join the north of England. In the meantime, the situation has changed since Newcastle has been bought by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund and will be able to propose a new, much larger project that could appeal to Boubacar Kamara . Discussions between the two parties are continuing. But other clubs are also and not the least since The Athletic speaks of the interest of FC Barcelona , which will scrutinize the situation of players at the end of their contract, while Bayern Munich , who is looking for a defensive midfielder, will also be involved. Juventus , Manchester United and a club from the Big 4 of the Premier League could also be positioned. From January 1 everything should be settled since it is on this date that Boubacar Kamara will be officially authorized to discuss with the club of his choice.
