OM will be one of the major players in the transfer market this summer. The Marseille club must be ready to play in the next Champions League play-offs.
Marcelino and Pablo Longoria will have to work hand in hand in the coming days. The idea for the two men is to complete the OM transfer window as quickly as possible. It must be said that the month of August will start strong for the Phocaeans, with the start of Ligue 1 but also the Champions League play-offs to be played. Marcelino therefore hopes to be able to count on most of his group for these important meetings for OM. For the moment, only Geoffrey Kondogbia has landed from Atlético Madrid. But he will not be alone, far from it. Pablo Longoria has planned to change almost 40% of the team that Igor Tudor fielded last season. Among the players who are very popular with OM management: Anthony Rouault.

According to information from Lorenzo Lepore, the central defender, who plays in Toulouse, caught the eye of Pablo Longoria. The OM president no doubt appreciated the player’s level of play last season, while Toulouse notably won the Coupe de France. A season of revelation for Anthony Rouault, who will have played a total of 40 games in all competitions. The player’s room for improvement but also his contractual situation are undeniable advantages for OM. Rouault is still under contract until 2024 with Téfécé. Its future is more uncertain than ever, even if the southern club will soon have a discussion with its representatives. But everything suggests that a proposal from OM will not leave the 22-year-old player unmoved. In addition to the Phocaeans, Fiorentina is also monitoring the situation of the native of Villeneuve-sur-Lot.
