Marseille Faces Financial Hurdle in Goalkeeper Deal

Negotiations between Olympique Marseille and Polish goalkeeper Marcin Pulka have encountered a major financial obstacle, reducing the chances of completing the transfer during the current summer transfer window.

French reports indicate that Marseille's management has inquired about the possibility of signing Polka, who is keen on experiencing a new challenge and returning to European football.

Despite the French club's interest in the goalkeeper, discussions have not progressed significantly due to the high financial costs associated with completing the deal.

Sources indicate that Polka earns a net annual salary of €5 million, a figure that Marseille's management considers too high and difficult to bear at this time.

The goalkeeper's contract, which extends until the summer of 2029, complicates negotiations further, as Neom Club maintains a strong negotiating position given the player's contract still has several seasons left.

This situation gives Neom Club a significant advantage in any future negotiations, while Marseille's task becomes more difficult without presenting a financial offer that meets the demands of the Saudi club.

Given these circumstances, Marcin Bulka's chances of moving to Olympique Marseille currently seem slim, unless there are changes in the financial conditions among all parties in the coming days.
