OM: Lirola now in France?

Determined to join Olympique de Marseille in this summer transfer window, Fiorentina right-back Pol Lirola (24) rejected an approach from Atalanta Bergamo and continues to force his departure for the Marseille club. According to the information of journalist Alfredo Pedulla, the Spaniard even left Italy to take the direction of France.

The sign of an imminent transfer? In negotiations for several weeks, OM and Fio are said to be close to an agreement concerning an operation estimated at 12 million euros. But for the moment, discussions continue to drag on due to a disagreement over payment terms, with Marseille’s desire to settle the score over several years.
