From Arturo Vidal to Mohamed Salah via Eric Garcia or Mikel Arteta, find all the rumors and news of the football transfer market for this Monday, March 1, 2021.
The Vidal rumor swells in Marseille, but ...
Released from his contract at Atlético Mineiro in Brazil, Jorge Sampaoli is expected in Marseille in the coming days.
And the Argentine coach would already advance his pawns for the summer transfer window.
According to the
Calciomercatonews
site
, Sampaoli would make Inter Milan midfielder Arturo Vidal a priority for OM recruitment.
The new Marseille coach had made the best of Vidal with the Chilean selection, winning the Copa America in 2015. But there are two problems: the reliability of the rumor leaves

to be desired, especially as the Argentinian television channel
TyC Sports
shared the information, thinking of quoting "French media".
Then there is the economic aspect.
If Vidal (34) is losing momentum at Inter, where he has one year of contract left, his remuneration is no less than 6.5 M € / year.
That's more than Kevin Strootman, who earned € 6 million annually at OM and who was kicked out last winter for this reason.
With a slim hope of qualifying for the next Champions League, Marseille is therefore unlikely to be able to afford Arturo Vidal.
