Despite the uncertainty about the identity of their future coach, OM are starting to explore several avenues on the transfer market.
With the departure of Igor Tudor, the staff of Olympique de Marseille is focused on recruiting a new coach. Several tracks are currently being dug by Pablo Longoria, who wishes to finalize the arrival of his new coach as soon as OM will play in the third preliminary round of the Champions League at the beginning of August. Despite the uncertainty about his future coach, Pablo Longoria is beginning to explore several avenues on the transfer market, which will of course have to be validated by Igor Tudor’s successor.

According to the information from La Provence, certain files were deepened and then quickly thrown in the trash by the Marseille management. The Raphaël Guerreiro track, at the end of his contract with Borussia Dortmund, is one of them. Financially, the file was viable for OM but the club’s staff felt that the profile of the former Lorient man did not match the style of play that the management wanted to put in place in Marseille.
Guerreiro and Sarr, tracks closed by OM
Another track mentioned in recent weeks, that leading to Pape Matar Sarr, lacking playing time at Tottenham. As for Guerreiro, the track was abandoned without anyone knowing why. In the offensive sector, the names of two French attackers have filtered: Marcus Thuram and Moussa Dembélé. The center-forward of Borussia Mönchengladbach, also targeted by PSG, will not come.

The track is impossible according to the staff of Marseille, which also closed the file Moussa Dembélé, far too greedy in terms of salary. In attack, there is also no question of seeing the arrival of Wilfried Zaha, the Crystal Palace striker, who has never been a lead for Pablo Longoria according to the Provençal daily. Suffice to say that for now, no player is close to signing for OM or at least not to the knowledge of the media. As usual, Pablo Longoria works behind the scenes to surprise everyone. Usually he succeeds, Marseille supporters are therefore waiting for him at the turn this summer.
