Looking for several attackers in the summer transfer window, OM have expressed an interest in Iliman Ndiaye. Very receptive, the Sheffield United striker wants to sign for Marseille in the coming weeks.
The attacking site is enormous at Olympique de Marseille and it is not the new coach Marcelino who will say the opposite. “We will have to move on offensive profiles” warned the successor of Igor Tudor at his first press conference. It must be said that Marcelino is used to playing in 4-4-2. However for the moment, only one center-forward is under contract with OM in the person of Vitinha, in total lack of confidence.

Alexis Sanchez has not yet extended and for the time being, no rookie has landed in this sector of play.

We should perhaps be active for Pablo Longoria because for the moment… the player gives his preference to OM, and by far. Indeed, the Provençal media affirms that Iliman Ndiaye wishes to sign at Olympique de Marseille, a club in which he spent between 11 and 12 years. Suffice to say that the Olympian staff has every interest in accelerating on this file because the competition is not going to let it go. Everton and Fulham are particularly interested in the Senegalese international, who however gives his preference to Marseille with the prospect of playing in the Champions League or, at least, the Europa League, within the Marseille club. It remains to be seen how much Sheffield leaders will demand for their best striker, at the end of the contract in a year.
