‘Marseille can’t afford Isla’

By Football Italia staff

Mauricio Isla will return to Juventus this summer, as his agent reveals Marseille can’t afford his buyout clause.

The Chilean wing-back moved to France this summer, with the Ligue 1 side having the option to buy him at the end of the season.

Isla has scored twice and provided one assist in his 21 League games so far, but his representative reveals he won’t be staying with l’OM.

“The player won’t be signed outright by Marseille,” Fernando Felicevich told Tuttomercatoweb.

“Despite his good performances the club is in an economic position where they can’t afford the redemption clause.

“In June he’ll return to Juventus, where he still has a year on his contract. As for the rest, it’s still premature to make other assumptions.”
