Still looking for offensive reinforcements, OM are reportedly on the trail of a former Ligue 1 striker.
On the verge of completing the loan arrival of Argentinian prodigy Valentin Carboni from Inter, OM are still actively working on recruiting Eddie Nketiah, the Arsenal striker. This Wednesday, according to Sky Sports, the Marseillais returned to the charge by getting closer to the Gunners’ demands in terms of transaction terms, without however increasing their offer by 20 million euros.
The beauty is in the club’s camp with the cannon for the much-coveted center forward since the departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang; but at the same time, OM is looking to secure the services of an offensive player capable of playing on the left wing, as a counterpart to the will-o’-the-wisp Mason Greenwood. With a certain Armand Laurienté in their sights.
Mourinho on the case too
Sassuolo president Giovanni Carnevali, in an interview with Sky Sport Italia, cites the Marseille club among the suitors of the former Lorient player. Beyond the numbers, it depends a lot on the clubs that make the request. Laurienté is a footballer who also has other requests. There is Marseille but also Fenerbahçe, with Mourinho who was one of the first to move. »
Although Sassuolo have been relegated to Serie B, the Neroverdi have no intention of selling their Frenchman off. We also have to think about the value of this player who is important to us. There are so many possibilities. To say a figure? I don’t know. It could be around 15 or 20 million euros. We think it’s the right figure, but I can also tell you that I would almost prefer to give up this economic result to keep the player. (…) The sale, if there is to be one, must be consistent and at fair value. » In two seasons and 68 matches played at Sassuolo, Armand Laurienté scored 12 goals and provided 10 assists.
