Renan Lodi, Ismaïla Sarr, Iliman Ndiaye, Geoffrey Kondogbia or even Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, to name but a few. OM did not skimp on resources during this summer transfer window. However, the first Olympian outings left a bitter taste for Marseille supporters. Eliminated in the third preliminary round of the Champions League and held in check on the lawn of FC Metz (2-2) on the occasion of the second day of Ligue 1, Friday evening, Marcelino’s men are already struggle.
A frustrating observation which pushes the Marseille management to target new profiles on the transfer market. With this in mind and according to the latest information from Sky Sports, the last third in the French championship would negotiate with Bayer Leverkusen to enlist Nadiem Amiri, a 26-year-old midfielder. Only a few hours after Geoffrey Kondogbia’s injury against the Garnets, the upper echelons of Marseille would therefore be determined to strengthen the midfield. This will require an agreement with the German team…
OM talks for Nadiem Amiri!
Arrived at the club in July 2019, Amiri would like, in any case, to change air and could therefore bounce back in the Marseille city. To do this, OM will, despite everything, have to get rid of competition from an English team, which is also interested. The German press finally specifies that a sum between 6 and 7 million euros would be claimed to let go of the German international to the five selections. Versatile midfielder, mainly used in the axis under the orders of Xabi Alonso, Nadiem Amiri, passed by Genoa and TSG Hoffenheim, comes out of an overall satisfactory season (4 achievements and 2 assists in 36 matches in all competitions ).
Absent during the first match of the season, on August 12 against Teutonia 05 in the German Cup (0-8 victory), Amiri had however participated in the summer preparation, in particular during the friendly match against OM at the start of August (1-2) where he had deceived Pau Lopez with a direct right-footed corner. With the announced departure of Ruslan Malinovskyi and the possible transfer of Mattéo Guendouzi before the end of the summer transfer window, OM may have found new reinforcements for their midfield.
