Eddie Nketiah future OM player? It is no longer uncertain at all. This transfer seemed to be on the right track, but now the position of the Marseille club and that of Arsenal are too far apart to be optimistic about its realization.
According to information from L’Equipe, the OM management is very annoyed by the changing attitude of the London officials. While the first contacts were positive, the link has cooled considerably since then.
Radio silence at Arsenal for Nketiah
OM’s latest proposal is a one-year loan, with a purchase option of 20 million euros and which would not be obligatory. The Gunners board has not responded to this offer.
This news confirms the rumours that Arsenal did not take the Olympian decision-makers too seriously. For the English, the French assessment of their winger is far from the value they give him and that is why they do not even consider it worth continuing to discuss.
Marseille has not given up on this lead. Pablo Longoria and Roberto De Zerbi still believe in an agreement, especially since Nketiah is now one of their main targets for their offensive sector. As for the interested party, he is also very interested in a stay at the Vélodrome. But, obviously, the outcome of this saga does not depend on him.
