Marseille is looking for a replacement in case Kamara ends up at Atlético

Olympique de Marseille moves at the end of the transfer market. Boubacar Kamara, his most valuable player according to the specialized page Transfermarkt (25 million quote), contract ends on June 30 and still does not accept any of the renewal offers.

And, given the concentration of suitors to take over their services this January by paying a transfer or free starting next year, the French team has focused its efforts on Erick Pulgar, midfielder for Fiorentina. According to Fabrizio Di Marzio, Olympique de Marseille maintains negotiations with the Italian club, where you are barely having minutes, to close your transfer. And, if the operation comes to fruition, you can open your hand to obtain an economic benefit on the horn in the winter market.

One of those suitors to incorporate Kamara is Atlético de Madrid. The mattress group sees in the 22-year-old footballer a bet for the future and that it would reinforce two positions where the team is showing certain deficiencies. Kamara is a physical pivot, with great stealing ability and a good ball output. In that position, Simeone has few specialized players beyond Kondogbia.

But also, can act without problems as central, a position where Atlético is showing many deficiencies. The injuries to Giménez and Savic and the loss of level of Hermoso and Felipe have been directly related to the worse defensive performance of the team with Simeone on the bench, conceding 26 goals in 21 league games. The mattress club has signed Wass y a Reinildo, both with end of contract on June 30. It remains to be seen if the Mozambican joins the team in January or has to wait until next year if Lille does not allow him to leave. And with Kamara you can follow the same policy to strengthen yourself.
