What if OM ultimately didn’t do too badly with the most expensive recruit in its history?
A year after signing for Olympique de Marseille, from Braga, Vitinha packed his bags. The Portuguese striker was loaned to Genoa by the Marseille club, with a purchase option amounting to 25 million euros.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport this Thursday, the leaders of the Italian team would consider lifting it. However, it is imperative that the native of Cabeceiras de Basto performs well by stringing together goals. Everything he failed to achieve in the city in the South of France.
An illusory option?
“OM could no longer support Vitinha given his level. But putting a purchase option at 25 million euros means nothing, However, believes a specialist in the Italian transfer window, cited by 20 minutes. It would have been the same if it had been a dry loan. It’s just to not lose their face that they put this option, to say “oh there is still a club which puts an option for 25 million, we didn’t get robbed by buying it for 32 million “. While it was ridiculous to buy this player for this amount. »
Author of six goals in 42 matches with OM, Vitinha found the net every 321 minutes. In the McCourt era, he is behind Valère Germain (292) and Dario Benedetto (249). The top 3 being represented by Mario Balotelli (118), Arkadiusz Milik (126) and Luis Suarez (134).
