Mercato | Mercato – OM: Longoria has already made a thunderous decision for Milik's future!

Not really at his best after his return from injury, Arkadiusz Milik is starting to talk about him again, with his future at Olympique de Marseille which could be called into question.

After a very complicated period at Napoli, Arkadiusz Milik seemed to have fully revived at Olympique de Marseille last season. Things went much worse after a knee injury, however, which kept him out of the field until October. Less efficient, he does not seem to have difficulty adjusting to Jorge Sampaoli's changes, but Pablo Longoria has no doubts about his future. “Operation Milik has always been spoken of as a complicated operation,” the OM president explained in an interview with L’Équipe on 7 December. “But this is a player who, in the end, will be owned by OM.” We must not forget that Milik does not totally belong to Olympique de Marseille , which still has to pay 8M € to Napoli as well as € 4M in variable bonuses. But will he really kill the OM ?

Juventus have not forgotten Milik

A few days before the opening of the winter transfer window, the Italian press has relaunched an old sea serpent, with Juventus 's interest in Arkadiusz Milik. The Bianconeri have been following the Pole from OM for years and this is precisely what would have contributed to his controversial departure from Napoli. Thus, Tuttosport explains that Massimiliano Allegri would have called for the recruitment of a leading striker to his leaders and Milik would be a particularly appreciated profile. In Turin, we would also like to build on the excellent relations with Pablo Longoria, who was recruiting director at Juve.

Longoria already ends the negotiations

In Marseille, however, we should not worry about Arkadiusz Milik. If in Italy several media have confirmed this renewed interest of Juventus , an arrival seems very far from being possible. According to information from Gianluca Di Marzio , the only possible formula for the Bianconeri would be that of a simple loan or anything less without a compulsory purchase option. Impossible for Pablo Longoria, who would have categorically refused the offer from Juventus , preferring therefore to keep Milik and focus on his final purchase. La Gazzetta dello Sport announces that this refusal would have dampened the hopes of Turin, who would now look to Gianluca Scamacca of Sassuolo.
