Final details were worked out on Wednesday.
Arkadiusz Milik, 26, joins OM, from Naples, in the form of an 18-month loan with an almost compulsory purchase option estimated at 8 million euros (M €).
According to corroborating sources, he is expected, this Thursday afternoon, in the Marseille city to undergo his medical examination prior to his engagement.
3.5 million net per season, premiums and percentage on resale
To this sum of € 8m is added € 4m in bonuses subject to qualification for the Champions League and the number of matches played and goals scored by Milik.
According to two Italian sources, a resale percentage of 20%, out of a sum greater than € 8 million, was also included in the transaction between the two clubs.
In Marseille, the Polish international (56 caps and 15 goals) is offered a 3.5-year contract and a salary of around € 3.5 million net per season.
The player and OM had been in agreement for several days already.
The two clubs had also come to an agreement, but Milik still had to settle certain points with Napoli where he had been placarded since this summer after refusing to extend his contract.
Free on June 30, 2021, he had to first commit to an additional season with the Parthenopean team.
The player claimed in particular 1M € in a case of unpaid bills.
He also heard that Napoli withdraw two complaints.
The first relates to the episode of the mutiny of the players, in November 2019 at the end of the Carlo Ancelotti era.
Due to disappointing results at the start of last season, President Aurelio de Laurentiis had imposed a greening.
The workforce was opposed.
Fines were then distributed by the club.
The other complaint related to an image rights management problem.
He arrives in a club in crisis of results
After bitter discussions, he apparently won his case with the withdrawal of the two complaints.
Author of 38 goals in 93 Serie A games since 2016, Milik, revealed to Gornik Zabrze, will discover his 4th foreign league after Germany (Bayer Leverkusen and Augsburg), the Netherlands (Ajax Amsterdam) and Italy ( Naples).
Stopped for over 5 months, he will already have to make up for lost time and regain an acceptable level of form to meet the enormous expectations placed on him by a Marseille formation in complete collapse.
Defeated by Lens on Wednesday (1-0), OM are 6th in Ligue 1 with 8 points behind Lyon, the current 3rd and one game less.
