This summer, Pablo Longoria decided to rely on the Valencian connection to OM. After bringing Marcelino back to the Marseille bench then Geoffrey Kondogbia, the Marseille president is now attacking Valence FC for its current players.
On May 25, 2019, Valencia defeated Messi’s Barça in the King’s Cup final. A success largely due to the duo Marcelino-Pablo Longoria. If since then the Valencian club has fallen in the last quarter of the Spanish championship, the two men intend to do it again… at OM. Longoria has become president of the Marseille club and has just appointed his friend club coach. The connection from Valence FC is already being felt in the Marseille transfer window. Geoffrey Kondogbia, a major player in the Valencian midfield at the time, will arrive at OM in the coming hours.
OM place themselves on Thierry Rendall Correia
More than reconstituting the Valencia team of 2019, Longoria intends to serve cheerfully in the workforce of his former club. In sporting difficulty with an assured maintenance of accuracy, Valence is also on the tightrope from a financial point of view. This is good for OM, which is targeting one of the many elements sold off by the Spanish club this summer, Thierry Rendall Correia, as Cadena Ser radio asserts.

The 24-year-old Portuguese right-back has been playing at the club since 2019. He has continued to progress during this period, being one of the rare satisfactions of a team in distress. According to Cadena Ser, OM tried a first approach in particular to know the financial intentions of Valencia. Correia was bought for 12 million euros 4 years ago and his contract runs until 2026. Nevertheless, the club is ready to make an attractive price to OM to recover fresh money as quickly as possible. . While the summer sales have just started in France, OM are not to be outdone with this good deal which is just waiting to be concluded as soon as possible.
