The French "Marseille" left the fight for the Ukrainian midfielder of the Italian "Atalanta" Ruslan Malinovsky, reports Tuttomercatoweb.
The reason for the refusal of the French from plans for a 29-year-old football player was Atalanta's unbearable financial requests for Marseille.
The Italian club flatly refused to consider the option of renting Malinovsky, as Marseille originally wanted, and requested 20 million euros for the full transfer of the Ukrainian, after which the Provencals withdrew from the negotiation process.
Recall that, according to the latest media information, London West Ham is now considered the main contender for Malinovsky. In addition, another club from the capital of England, Tottenham Hotspur, is showing a substantive interest in the Ukrainian midfielder.
