OM Mercato: Wishing to reduce its payroll, theOlympic Marseille is working on a totally unexpected start in attack.
OM Mercato: Konrad de la Fuente towards a return to Spain
Olympique de Marseille definitely animates this summer transfer window. If in the direction of arrivals, the Marseille club hits hard with the signing of seven recruits, the Marseille leaders must now reduce their payroll and this involves the departure of several elements. President Paul Longoria therefore has its work cut out for it, as several players will have to quickly pack up before the transfer market closes. And it is especially in attack that the cleaning will have to be done.
Lately, Bamba Dieng seemed close to the exit door. The young 22-year-old striker should leave the Marseille ship in the event of a satisfactory offer. But that’s not all. The management of OM could, against all odds, complete the departure of Conrad of the Source. In difficulty at Olympique de Marseille, the former star of FC Barcelona indeed seems close to making his return to Spain. As indicated All Transfersthe Real Valladolid is well on its way to closing its signature.
OM Mercato: Imminent signing of Konrad de la Fuente in Valladolid
In search of offensive reinforcements, the Spanish club began discussions several weeks ago with OM with a view to completing the transfer of Conrad of the Source in the form of a loan without an option to buy. This approach of Real Valladolid would not displease the Marseille leaders, who would like to part with one or two attackers this summer. Negotiations between the two parties would thus have progressed very quickly, to the point where an agreement for the transfer of a young player now seems complete.
The Spanish media is affirmative on this file, indicating that Conrad of the Source will be the next signing of Real Valladolid. The Blanquivioletas should even formalize the loan of the young American striker, after having managed to reduce their payroll, specifies the source. Except for a huge last minute twist, the former Barcelona player will therefore continue his career in La Liga next season.
