Milik leaves Napoli for Marseille
Arkadiusz Milik’s saga at Napoli has come to an end, with the Polish forward joining Ligue 1 side Marseille.
Gennaro Gattuso had left Milik out of his Serie A squad for the first half of the season after the striker failed to force a move away from the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona during the summer.
But now his time in Campania is up, having signed for the French giants.

The move is initially a loan with an option to buy, though that option then becomes an obligation once the player has made an appearance for Marseille, making it as good as a permanent agreement.
Milik made 122 appearances for Napoli, scoring 48 goals.
