Former Olympique Marseille midfielder Boubacar Kamara will become a free agent in the summer. It is claimed that Newcastle United have made a “hefty” contract offer to the French club for this Arsenal and Manchester United target.
It has been reported that Newcastle United are setting up a move for Olympique Marseille star Boubacar Kamara and have made a contract offer to the 21-year-old. The story comes from Italian magazine La Lazio Siamo Noi.
A product of Marseille’s academy, Kamara broke onto the scene as a centre-back before settling into the holding midfield position, which he has performed well since. To date, he has made 130 appearances for the Ligue 1 champions, scoring three goals and assisting on another five others in the process.
Newcastle United have now joined the race to recruit the 21-year-old holding midfielder, who is now available on a free transfer
Kamara has nine caps for the France Under-21 national team. He has been on the radar of major teams. That is why he is an Arsenal and Manchester United target. Barcelona has also shown an interest in signing him on a permanent basis. Newcastle United have now joined the race to recruit the 21-year-old holding midfielder, who is now available on a free transfer.
Following their multimillion-dollar purchase, Newcastle United is the most talked-about football team in the world right now. The Magpies have been connected with a slew of players from around Europe. They seek to strengthen their squad ahead of the January transfer window.
That is in order to turn around their faltering season. The Magpies have been equipped with the big resources of their new owners. They are ready to spend big and are linked with almost every available player in the market.
Kamara has already shown tremendous talent and gained valuable experience despite his young age of just 21 years
Given the number of goals that they have conceded this season, the defensive midfield is a place where they can strengthen their depth. Isaac Hayden has struggled with his fitness in the past. There is nothing in the way of backup for the former Arsenal star at the No. 6 position at the moment. As a result, the Tynesiders would benefit from the addition of another player at that position.
As a result, Kamara may be an excellent addition to the Newcastle squad. He has already shown tremendous talent. He has gained valuable experience despite his young age of just 21 years. Furthermore, what makes him such an attractive target is the fact that he is in the last year of his contract. He has made no indication that he wants to sign a new deal with the club.
Newcastle United have responded with a ‘rich’ contract offer for Kamara. According to the aforementioned source, it is likely to deter other suitors such as Lazio from bidding for the player. While he would be available for free at the conclusion of the season, a good offer may enable the Tynesiders to sign him before the end of the month. They will be hoping to add him to their squad in the January transfer window.
It still remains to be seen if the 21-year-old will make his way up to St. James’ Park in the coming months. Or whether he will sign a contract extension with Marseille to continue his development.
