Malaga willing to pay six million Euros for Lucho Gonzalez of Olympique de Marseille – Ligue 1 news
The transfer saga of Argentine international seems to becoming more and more prolonged each day. The former FC Porto man was expected to leave Ligue 1 giants http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 as soon as the transfer window opened.
However, Marseille’s reluctance in lowering down their asking price and the player’s suitors’ insistence of interested clubs to land him on the cheap has left Gonzalez in limbo and the 30-year-old is still a Marseille player.
July 15th has been the deadline that Olympique de Marseille have set for the transfer of El Comandante as the club does not want the player to depart in the final hours of transfer window – something that happened when http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mamadou-Niang-c23292 left the club
in the final hours of the summer transfer window last year. That time, Les Phoceens were left with enough time to find a replacement for the Senegalese.
With that experience on their minds, the club direction is eager to not let the same scenario happen again. The Argentine has been given a deadline to find a new club as soon as possible. In their struggles to find a club for the Argentine international,
Les Phoceens might consider lowering down their asking price for the player.
Marseille are expecting 13 million Euros for Lucho Gonzalez which is deemed too steep by the interested clubs because of the player’s age. At 30, Gonzalez will have two or three years of good football left in him and no club wants to risk paying such a hefty
amount for Gonzalez.
Reports in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 now suggest that Marseille have received a six million Euros bid from La Liga side Malaga who have been interested in Gonzalez for a long time.
Marseille http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sporting-89-c40576 director Jose Anigo also confirmed the news and while talking to RMC, the Frenchman said, “Lucho wants to go to Malaga. We know that but there is a price that has to be paid for it. Deschamps needs to build his team and if the offer is
not good, Lucho will stay with us. We received only one proposal worth six million euros.”
Marseille are expecting at least two-digit fees for the services of the South American. A bid of six million Euros is definitely too low for Marseille’s liking which means that the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 man is left with only 24 hours to find a new club.
