Marcelino is now officially the coach of Olympique de Marseille and this will have effects in the transfer window. Pablo Longoria and the Spanish coach have strong ideas about which players to keep and who to leave.
Football is ruthless, and during the transfer market, fans know in advance that the departure of several players, even darlings, can materialize. And this summer, that is likely to be the case, because with the departure of Igor Tudor and his replacement by Marcelino, Pablo Longoria has every intention of once again cleaning up the locker room. The president of OM and Javier Ribalta are not sentimental and if it is necessary to decide on the spot, they will do it. Several players are in the crosshairs of the Marseille duo, and this Saturday, the daily L’Equipe announces in particular two names: Dimitri Payet and Mattéo Guendouzi. Olympique de Marseille opens the door wide.
OM will clean up
One year from the end of his contract, Dimitri Payet did not hide his intentions in a recent interview, he wants to play for OM next season, especially since we have clearly dangled him with a retraining at club. But, like Steve Mandanda, the attacking midfielder from Reunion will have to forget these beautiful promises of the past. ” Since the beginning of June, OM have been working on profiles that may be suitable for this technician attached to a classic 4-4-2, a system that does not send a message of peace to Dimitri Payet, in the sights of his management since the start. summer 2022 “, warns a Mathieu Grégoire hardly optimistic for the one who did not plan to leave Olympique de Marseille without a trophy. And for Mattéo Guendouzi it is hardly more brilliant.

Pushed to the bench after his return from the 2022 World Cup, Mattéo Guendouzi will probably not have the opportunity to change the situation with Marcelino. ” The change in tactical style will inevitably impact the constitution of the group. In the middle, a departure from Mattéo Guendouzi is still hoped for “, announces the journalist from L’Equipe, who specifies that the international tricolor could return to London, but not to Arsenal. It is indeed on the side of West Ham that Guendouzi could rebound, the English club being ready to make an offer for the one who still has two years of contract with OM.
