While the president of Olympique de Marseille, Pablo Longoria, was counting on the sales of Boubacar Kamara and Duje Caleta Car to replenish the funds, the leader of OM almost made a big mistake with Bamba Dieng.
Indeed, the boss of the Marseille club was obviously willing to accept offers of around 5/6 million euros for the young Senegalese striker. It took Jorge Sampaoli’s veto so that Bamba Dieng was not transferred. And for the time being, the native of Pikine agrees with the Argentinian technician.
Author of a huge match punctuated by a double against AS Monaco, Bamba Dieng could well be the big surprise of this season in Ligue 1, and could allow OM to pocket a nice jackpot in the coming years. At least that’s what the president of the Diambars (academy in which Bamba Dieng was trained), Saer Seck, argues.
“He can become a world-class striker. If he succeeds in Marseille, he will have the opportunity to go to a European top club, and if he scores goals he will quickly be worth the 100 million.”, he said in comments relayed by 20 Minutes.
This is called optimism …
