Pushed towards the exit, Ruslan Malinovskyi does not really facilitate the task of the Marseillais.
Absolutely wanted by Igor Tudor last season, during the winter transfer window, Ruslan Malinovskyi did not really strengthen OM. If his goal against PSG in the Coupe de France will be remembered – with the result that we know – the Ukrainian has not regained the level that was his at Atalanta, chaining tasteless or even clumsy performances. Also he is no longer in the plans of the Olympians.
On the market, Besiktas was the quickest to react, quickly reaching an agreement with the Marseille management – only the main interested party rejected the Turkish option, knowing that he was also coveted in Italy, where his preference lies. But while Genoa in turn agrees with OM, Ruslan Malinovskyi delays and is choosy.

This Thursday, La Repubblica reports a deal between the Marseillais and the Genoese for a loan with option to buy – option to buy valued at 11 million euros. However, the former Bergamasque would see himself more in Monza or Bologna, two clubs which have also expressed their interest but without going on the attack with the staff of Ciel et Blanc. The Malinovskyi file is therefore far from being closed yet in Marseille.
