A nova temporada da Ligue 1 já decorre a 'todo o gás', mas o Marseille continua em busca de uma nova opção para a frente de ataque, setor identificado como prioritário no que a reforços diz respeito por André Villas-Boas.
O treinador português pretende um jogador com capacidade física e goleadora, mas a crise financeira provocada pela pandemia do novo coronavírus não permitem dar lugar a qualquer tipo de 'loucura' financeira.
Nesse sentido, de acordo com informações veiculadas, esta segunda-feira, pela revista France Football, o conjunto gaulês já terá referenciado três nomes na Bundesliga, sendo que Lucas Alario é o que mais agrada.
O argentino termina contrato com o Bayer Leverkusen em junho de 2022, o que significa que o clube estaria disposto a reduzir a fasquia dos 15 milhões de euros que, até agora, tem vindo a colocar aos potenciais interessados.
Yussuf Poulsen, do Leipzig, também está nesta lista, e estaria disponível por cerca de dez milhões de euros. Joel Pohjanpalo, do Bayer Leverkusen, seria a opção mais económica, já que está avaliado em cinco milhões de euros.
They are prospecting in the Bundesliga, where three scorers suit the profile sought by Portuguese coach André Villas-Boas. Linked for two more years to RB Leipzig, the Dane Yussuf Poulsen is appreciated for his qualities as a fighter and his defensive withdrawal. In the grip of a tight budget due to the consequences of the pandemic, his semi-finalist club of the last C1 could separate from Poulsen, especially since it does not necessarily appear in the small papers of Julian Nagelsmann
Poulsen (26) would like to be fielded more often, especially in the run-up to the next Euro. Leipzig could sell it for around € 10m. OM would also have looked at J oel Pohjanpalo . Loaned last season in Hamburg, the 25-year-old Finnish striker returned to Bayer Leverkusen, but the leaders want to part with him. Price charged: 5 M €
Yet this is the profile of Lucas Alario(27 years old) which seems to be a great deal. Under contract at Leverkusen until June 2022, the Argentinian international (7 capes, 3 goals) has a magnificent left foot, a big shot, displays an unfailing composure against goal and rarely loses his aerial duels. The advantage is that he needs playing time and that he has made the Champions League his priority. If Bayer claims € 15m, they could revise their claims downwards, especially since coach Peter Bosz is not counting on Alario. A loan would also be considered.
