Bakambu set to join Marseille
Bakambu would compete directly with Polish striker Arkadiusz Milik for a place in team who has struggled for form this season under Jorge Sampaoli and could leave OM with Juventus interested in the forward. An appropriate offer could persuade president Pablo Longoria to allow a sale.
Bakambu’s deal is set to last two and a half years say L’Équipe with only a few details remaining plus a medical.
