It's no secret that Olympique de Marseille are once again looking for a major goalscorer after the semi-failure Pipa Benedetto, rather interesting last season but much less effective since the resumption of the championship in the month August (14 games played this season, 3 goals, 3 assists).

Among the names heard in recent days in the press - mainly that of Montpellier Gaëtan Laborde - also appears that of the Polish center-forward of Naples Arkadiusz Milik.

Present at a press conference before the Montpellier reception at the Vélodrome on Wednesday evening, André Villas-Boas commented on the track leading to the Neapolitan.

“We are interested but there are no advanced discussions with the club or the player.

It's not that far along, it's not for the next few days.

It's an interest, which unfortunately came out in the Italian press, ”said the Marseille coach.

"We are on a lot of issues because of what we did not do during the last transfer window," he admitted.

Milik is not the only option.

It's the toughest, maybe, because he's an important player.

It is not very simple ”.

Arrived in Naples in 2016, Milik (26) is breaking with the Italian club and will be out of contract next June.

He has not played since the start of the season, except for the Polish selection.

Villas-Boas also reiterated that he imagined the transfer window to settle “later”, towards the end of January, and recalled that OM's financial resources were “limited”.

“We are going to have discussions with the owner again to find out where we are and where we can go.

We know the limits we have and the crisis that everyone is going through.

You can't spend too much, that makes sense.

I'm not going to put that kind of pressure on management, ”he concluded.
