More and more rumors are sending Allan Saint-Maximin to OM. The French winger from Newcastle is a good option on the market, especially for a club looking for wingers like Marseille.
Indispensable player when Newcastle was fighting for its survival, Allan Saint-Maximin has somewhat disappeared since the Magpies have been playing in the big leagues. The former Stéphanois has been shooting between 3 and 5 goals in the Premier League since his arrival, while last season he only scored a small goal. Newcastle, however, finished the last year in fourth place. However, Saint-Maximin is no longer an indisputable holder with the Magpies, paying for increased competition within the workforce. Thus, he is one of the salable players this summer for his club according to information from the Telegraph. Looking for wingers for Marcelino’s 4-4-2, OM are the ideal suitor for the Frenchman.
OM are not yet thinking of Saint-Maximin
A scenario that has been reinforced in recent hours, as more and more media put OM in the ranks of the Newcastle player. Under contract until 2026, the winger represents an interesting move for the Marseille management except that it does not think so. According to RMC Sport, the Saint-Maximin to Marseille rumor is unfounded at the moment.
⚪🔵 Allan Saint-Maximin at OM, the rumor has swelled. But according to our information, the French winger, under contract with Newcastle until June 2026

Indeed, the Marseille management does not target the 26-year-old player who passed through Saint-Etienne, Monaco, Bastia or Nice in Ligue 1. Surprising, insofar as the media confirms that OM are primarily targeting full-backs and wingers in the transfer window to integrate Marcelino’s tactical system. Simple media intox or desire to cover the tracks at Pablo Longoria, the answer will come quickly. But, it will not be easy for OM to find a winger as reliable and affordable as Allan Saint-Maximin on the market.
