Already well supplied in the midfield, Olympique de Marseille is studying the arrival of a new midfielder. The Marseillais are interested in the Spaniard Unai Vencedor, undoubtedly on the advice of the new coach Marcelino who directed him to Athletic Bilbao.
It is obvious, Geoffrey Kondogbia will not be the only summer recruit at Olympique de Marseille. The Marseille club has identified other needs in its workforce, starting with the corridors of its defense. A priori, the recruitment of a midfielder seems much less urgent given the traffic jam caused by the arrival of the Central African international. The former Monegasque, for the two places in the midfield of Marcelino, finds himself for the moment in competition with Valentin Rongier, Jordan Veretout, Mattéo Guendouzi, Azzedine Ounahi and Pape Gueye.

Suffice to say that President Pablo Longoria will have to slim down this game sector. However, it is a new arrival that is emerging according to the Spanish press. Indeed, journalist Edu Velasco, from the show El Chiringuito, says that Olympique de Marseille is very interested in Unai Vencedor (22). The resident of the Vélodrome would like to obtain the loan from the midfielder of Athletic Bilbao, which Marcelino had under his orders at the Basque club in 2021-2022.
Vencedor pushed out
At this time, the Spaniard was enjoying significant playing time. But the situation got complicated with coach Ernesto Valverde who did not grant him any tenure in La Liga this season. In this context, it is obvious that the medium under contract until 2027 will not be retained this summer. Moreover, the source confirms that Athletic Bilbao is looking for a way out for Ernesto Valverde’s undesirable. Olympique de Marseille therefore offered. And for the moment, we do not know if the Olympian management has competition on this issue. It remains to be seen whether the Basques will agree to conclude the loan envisaged on the Marseille side.
