PARIS After months without playing, Arkadiusz Milik is raring to go. After weeks of poor results, Marseille is desperate to turn fortunes around.
So their paths could be crossing at just the right time.
“The people really want me, especially the coach, the sporting director. They pushed for the transfer,” said Milik, who joined Marseille from Napoli this month. “I came here to show myself and I hope I’m going to do it.”
“Heading in the other direction is Franco Tongya, midfielder born in 2002. Tongya leaves Juventus after 11 years at the club, having gone through the youth sector that led him to win an Under-15 title and make his debut in the Juventus Under-23 jersey.”
Furthermore, the 36-time Serie A giants have made the following arrangements with the Stade Velodrome giants:
- Definitive acquisition of the registration rights of the player Marley Aké for a consideration of € 8 million payable in three financial years. Juventus and the player have signed a 5-year contract of employment until 30 June 2025.
- Definitive disposal of the registration rights of the player Franco Tongya for a consideration of € 8 million payable in three financial years. The economic effect of this transaction is positive for about € 8 million.

Marseille (France), Jan. 6, 2021 Olympique de Marseille have offered to make their Stade Velodrome ground available to French health authorities for COVID-19 vaccinations.
“The club is offering to provide the Regional Health Authority with facilities within the Orange Velodrome to facilitate the organisation of the vaccination campaign,” the Ligue 1 club said on Wednesday in a statement.
France accelerated vaccinations of medical staff in hospitals on Monday after a slow start to inoculations in one of the most vaccine-sceptical countries in the world.
Health officials delivered just 516 COVID-19 shots during the first week of a campaign that focused on nursing home residents.
Rugby union’s European Cup has been contested for 25 seasons, but the fact that only 12 teams have won it underlines an acute degree of difficulty. Of those former winners, nine are among the title hopefuls this time around, and the bookmakers’ odds strongly suggest the champions will come from Leinster, Exeter, Racing or Toulouse. But a host of challengers are lining up behind them, including twice winners Wasps, who were Premiership finalists last season, another double European champion in Irish heavyweights Munster, and perhaps the strongest dark horse of all – Bristol – on their European Cup return after a 12-year absence.
