“No, I can’t confirm (contacts, editor’s note). I know him very well, we have a very good relationship. He is growing with a great future. He is a midfielder with a wide offensive palette. Beyond my personal feelings, I don’t know if the club communicated with him. It’s not clear because what concerns me are the last four games and a European qualification. But it’s a name that seems to me to have a great future. I think any coach would love to have it. I don’t know if there is any communication from the club about this. He is a player who is very well valued, it is a promise. When he consolidates, he will be a very important player. It is an analysis that I base on what I saw in selection, not on its current performance ” Jorge Sampaoli – Source: Press conference (04/29/21)
THIS WOULD BE A RECRUITMENT THAT WE HAVE NOT DONE FOR A VERY LONG TIME – TITI
In our last Foot Marseille Debate, supporter Thierry Mode was asked about this and thinks it would be a huge blow for Olympique de Marseille to sign this player. Very popular with supporters, Thiago Almada has a big side and his arrival would set off a bomb!
« Almada? I think that if OM signed this player, it would be a very big media stunt! I’m not talking in terms of big players but in media terms. Compared to the prospect that it is, a lot of clubs are struggling. If they manage to get him to sign… Big English, Spanish, Italian clubs who want it… There are rumors games with agents etc who say that such and such a club are on such and such a player but if you succeed in doing Almada, c is a big hit! It would be a recruitment that we haven’t done for a very long time. » Thierry fashion – Source: Football Club de Marseille (07/19/21)
