Herrera will leave Atlético in June, it’s official, and the Atletico sports management is already looking for a replacement. One of the possibilities is Wijnaldum, a long-distance player, but also one who would require a very strong investment, despite the fact that he is unhappy at PSG. But there is another that Atlético manages since last December, when he already made an attempt to sign him. This is Boubacar Kamara, the 22-year-old Marseille pivot.
The French international has half of Europe behind him because his contract ends in June and Marseille practically gives him up for lost. As explained Footmercato in France, there is a battle to get him signed throughout Europe and, at the moment, it is Atlético that has the upper hand. And it is not an easy fight. Manchester United, Newcastle, Aston Villa, Roma, Borussia Dortmund… There are many interested parties, but the French outlet explains that, at the moment, the Madrid club is ahead.
A week ago Pablo Longoria, president of Marseille, did not want to throw in the towel. “Kara? It is my responsibility. I have been at the club since August 2020, I assume my responsibilities, especially with the Kamara situation. Until the end the last word is not said. We are still having conversations, we have proposed different possibilities”, stated the manager. Footmercato explains that Kamara and Atlético have “a verbal agreement, but nothing has been signed yet”. The player, according to Transfermarkt, has a market value of 25 million , but he would go free.
