OM have the ambition to strengthen this summer but will Pablo Longoria have room financially, six months after betting 32 million euros on Vitinha… who has so far disappointed more than he expected? ‘convinced ?
In search of a center forward six months ago, Olympique de Marseille surprised everyone by paying the most expensive transfer in its history for Vitinha, recruited from Braga. Six months later, doubts are enormous around the Portuguese international hopeful, author of only two goals in Ligue 1 and who has not really convinced for the moment. Marcelino’s 4-4-2 system could be favorable to him and there is rather an interest for Marseille that Vitinha starts to shine. Because the investment made to recruit him will have consequences on OM’s summer transfer window according to Dominique Grimault, who expressed his fears on this subject on the antenna of La Chaîne L’Equipe in L’Equipe de Greg.

“OM must recruit two or even three attackers. I sincerely hope that they will not regret the 32 million euros spent on Vitinha. It’s a real question, he should play more often than last season but what is he really worth? » wonders the former M6 journalist, not completely convinced by Vitinha’s profile and who genuinely fears that this transfer will weigh down Marseille’s finances. Despite everything, Pablo Longoria has already concluded an interesting first deal with the arrival of Geoffrey Kondogbia from Atlético de Madrid.
Kondogbia’s transfer is unanimous
An excellent pick according to Dominique Grimault. “To talk about Kondogbia, he is someone who has played a lot of clubs but his best season was in Valencia with Marcelino. He is a very experienced player who will give a lot of physical impact to the midfield. For the rest, I think OM’s priority is elsewhere. Kondogbia is good especially for a reasonable transfer but you have to quickly recruit ahead for Marseille” added the journalist, who will now wait to see how the Olympique de Marseille transfer window unfolds.
