Bakambu joined to let Milik go to Juve? The President of Marseille denied: he would never be sold

Juve are hoping to sign a new striker during the winter transfer period, but Marseille president Pablo Langria has said he will not let Milik go.

After Chieza's injury, Juve urgently needed to strengthen the front line during the winter transfer period, and Marseille striker Milik became one of Juve's reinforcement targets. The 27-year-old Polish striker Milik, who has played for Bayer Leverkusen and Napoli in the past, was loaned to Marseille last January and has scored nine goals for Marseille in all competitions this season.

Marseille signed the veteran Bakambu of the Chinese Super League this week, and there is media speculation that Marseille will then agree to let Milik go. But President Pablo Langria made it clear at Bakambu's unveiling press conference: "Milik and junior Bamba Dion will never be sold and we need this type of forward configuration at the moment." Bakambu can play as a winger, a two-forward, a centre-forward, he can offer a variety of solutions, and it is difficult to find a player like him in the current transfer market. The Whole Market said Marseille could sell another striker, Benetetto, who is currently on loan to Elche in La Liga, with the old owner Boca Juniors interested in players.

Marseille coach Sampaoli also said that Milik can coexist with Bakambu. "Changes in the tactical system will depend on the compatibility of the forward players. We'll see if there's a possibility of using a two-striker, or a striker plus a winger. It's mostly up to the players, not me. ”
