In great difficulty on the Marseille side, Vitinha would be pushed towards the exit by its managers, who would have received offers.

Vitinha has clearly not helped his case… Already widely criticized since his arrival at Canebière last winter for 30 million euros, the most expensive transfer in the history of Olympique de Marseille, the Portuguese striker unfortunately distinguished himself with a huge miss on Saturday evening, during the draw between Marseillais and Monegasques (2-2).

While the Marseille management was already asking questions about him, it would have opened the door to a departure from the old Braga this winter, advances this Sunday morning Téléfoot. Pablo Longoria and his teams have even already received loan offers from several European teams. Proposals, however, were rejected by Marseille leaders, who would like a quick transfer.

Coming out of the draw against Monaco, Gennaro Gattuso did not want to push his 23-year-old striker any further. “ Vitinha is a young player. He was sad after the match, declared the Italian technician at a press conference. But football is beautiful because every week you have a new chance to do well. When you play football you have to have venom, passion. I think that it is with work that we overcome negative moments. If we are mentally well, we can face them. He has to think about it, he is young, it involves work. » As a reminder, Vitinha is still under contract with OM until June 2027.
