Pushed to exit this summer, Boubacar Kamara is dangerously close to the end of his contract with Olympique de Marseille.

This is an issue that Pablo Longoria would have liked to get rid of during the last transfer window. Boubacar Kamara had several opportunities to leave Olympique de Marseille this summer, including Newcastle and Wolverhampton, but he finally decided to stay. Very good news for Jorge Sampaoli, who appreciates the player a lot, a little less for Pablo Longoria. “Having elements at the end of the contract is an unpleasant situation , especially when it is a player from the training center. Many European clubs find themselves making contract extensions ”explained the president of OM , at the end of last July, on the sidelines of the presentation of Cengiz Ünder and Luan Peres . “I don't like having a player at the end of the contract in my squad, that's a reality. This is the signal that the club must give, there is no one above the institution ”. At the start of the fall a short overtime seemed possible, but Kamara now seems to have buried that possibility and should therefore leave OM .

Sell Kamara this winter to limit losses

Without extra time, there is only one option for Pablo Longoria so as not to lose money … and it seems to be confirmed. According to information from Sport Mediaset, the president of Olympique de Marseille wants to sell Boubacar Kamara during the next winter transfer window, which was confirmed in the wake by TMW and Tuttosport. This would ensure a minimum of money for OM , especially for a player trained at the club. The specialized site Transfermarkt assesses Kamara at nearly € 28M, but it seems more likely that he will go for sums around € 10M, which is still a gain far from negligible.

Kamara, the new priority for Juventus

But where could Boubacar Kamara bounce back? In recent months, the track leading to AC Milan seemed the most solid, with Paolo Maldini personally working on this file since last spring. Eventually, a new Serie A club could take control. According to information from Il Corriere dello Sport, the Olympique de Marseille player has become the top priority for Juventus, who are looking for reinforcements in the defensive midfielder position. The daily explains that Aurélien Tchouaméni would be much too expensive, while Axel Witsel would be too old, even if very much appreciated by Massimiliano Allegri.
