Ruslan Malinovskyi to join Marseille on loan with €12m obligation to buy

Ruslan Malinovskyi is expected to join Marseille in the coming days, following a deal agreed with Atalanta for his signature. The midfielder will be making the move on an initial loan deal with a mandatory buy option that will come into play during the summer. 

The buy option is valued at €12 million, and will also have bonuses to take the amount higher. The Ukrainian has agreed a long-term contract with the Ligue 1 club, and it seems to be only a matter of time before the transfer is completed. 

Ruslan Malinovskyi to join Marseille in the coming days 

One of the main reasons behind the switch is the lack of rapport between Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini and Malinovskyi. This has led to decreased opportunities, and he is now set to take up a new challenge in a new country. 

Atalanta owe 10% of the transfer fee they receive for him to his former club, Genk. They had signed Ruslan Malinovskyi in 2019 for a fee worth €13.6 million, and since then, he has made 143 appearances scoring 30 goals and providing 28 assists. 

Tottenham Hotspur were one of the clubs interested in signing him, but Marseille have surged ahead in negotiations. And they are now the favourites to wrap up the deal in the coming days.
