With the signing of Alexis Sanchez last summer, OM proved that they could attract big names in European football. While a star player from Serie A headed for Marseille, Qatar is likely to win the day.
This summer, the transfer window is likely to be very hot at OM. Several executives are announced on the departure like Alexis Sanchez or Mattéo Guendouzi. Qualified for the Champions League play-offs, the Marseille club must register recruits to hope to join the C1 but above all to do well there. This necessarily involves a good summer transfer window. In recent days, Luis Alberto seemed to be getting closer to OM. An essential element of Lazio from Rome, the midfielder is open to a departure and Marseille to an arrival from the Spaniard. However, according to information from Gianluca Di Marzio, a club in Qatar has made an offer to Lazio in Rome to hire Luis Alberto.

The transfer window specialist explains that the Al-Duhail club offered a salary of 8 million euros to the 30-year-old player. Dolphin of Naples in Serie A this season, Lazio hopes to sell its midfielder against 20 million euros. At the moment, the Biancazzurri have received an offer of 15 million from Al-Duhail. Bids will continue to rise but OM will probably not be able to keep up with the Qatari club’s financial pace. Marseille will have to convince Luis Alberto with other arguments. Author of 7 goals and 8 assists this season in all competitions, the former Liverpool player would be an ideal recruit for OM. Maurizio Sarri, however, wants to keep his master to play who is an essential part of his team with 44 games played this season. The task will be tough for OM.
