OM will be very active this summer on the transfer market. Among the areas of play that will be strengthened: the attack.
Pablo Longoria has finally found the rare pearl to replace Igor Tudor in recent days. Marcelino will take over from the Croatian coach. The Spaniard will have a lot of pressure on his shoulders as he will have to prepare his group as well as possible for the start of the season and the Champions League play-offs. In order to put the odds on his side, the former Valencia hopes to be able to count on the best possible squad. If Pablo Longoria has been working on his side for some time on profiles of players to recruit, Marcelino has also wasted no time. And for his attack, the Spaniard wants a player capable of playing pivot.
Sorloth, the good pick of the OM transfer window?
OM still on Alexander Sorloth 🇳🇴
Longoria had already tried it in 2021.
It would correspond to the profile desired by Marcelino and in the financial ropes of OM.

According to information from the Marseille media To the point, Marcelino wants to secure the services of Alexander Sorloth. The Norwegian striker is not against leaving Leipzig, when he was on loan last season to Real Sociedad. With the Spanish club, the 27-year-old striker had planted 12 goals in 34 La Liga games. To let go of his player, Leipzig should not be greedy and accept an offer of nearly 15 million euros to buy out his last two years of contract. Tall, powerful and skilful in front of goal, Alexander Sorloth could be of great service to the system of play wanted by Marcelino. Besides the Norwegian, OM also have their sights on Folarin Balogun and Wissam Ben Yedder. The attacking sector is seen as a priority by the Marseille management, especially since Alexis Sanchez has not yet given a definitive answer. The Chilean is waiting for strong guarantees from the Phocaeans to exercise the option he has in his contract to extend for one season. It’s up to Marcelino and Pablo Longoria to be persuasive.
