A real flop, Vitinha will leave OM for Genoa. However, the Portuguese should not be replaced.
A year after signing for Olympique de Marseille, from Braga, Vitinha will pack his bags. The Portuguese center forward has only scored six goals in 43 games, all competitions combined, since his arrival in the Marseille city.
In the coming hours, the Lusitanian striker should be loaned to Genoa. The Italian club would have a purchase option set at 25 million euros. According to RMC Sport journalist Florent Germain, Marseille leaders have not planned to recruit a player to compensate for this departure. They believe they are sufficiently armed in the offensive sector.
Recruited for 32 million euros (bonus included), Vitinha is none other than the most expensive recruit in the history of OM. “I believe that even if some supporters were lenient, many very quickly saw that there was a problem with the level, that he did not have any strong points, that there was a problem of coordination in his support and in the surface. He neither goes fast nor jumps high. He’s not smart in the box, he’s not skillful. We saw it quite quickly,” declared Eric Di Meco, Monday evening, in the show “Rothen s’igne” on RMC.
