While the level of Pau Lopez is debated in Marseille, Hugo Lloris could embody a great alternative for the Marseille club.
OM has a problem. From his first match on the bench last Saturday in Monaco, Gennaro Gattuso was able to identify a flaw in his squad. At the goalkeeper position. Out of the three goals conceded in the Principality, Pau Lopez hardly shone, which caused the new coach of the Olympians a lot of heat. What alternatives then for the people of Marseille? Ruben Blanco, who during his rare outings in Ciel et Blanc was not a rock either. Or the young Simon Ngapandouetnbu, who has never yet evolved on a professional level.
Some in Marseille believe that there is an urgent need to strengthen the position. At least during the next winter break. One of the potential targets if, however, Pablo Longoria also deems necessary the option of recruitment is obvious, according to Pierre Ménès, who every week delivers his observations on football news in his YouTube show. The ideal profile for the Phocaeans would be none other than Hugo Lloris.
“Lloris can arrive very easily”
“ He’s not a bad goalkeeper, he’s a mediocre goalkeeper. He has no authority, no charisma, no amplitude. He is much more comfortable diving to his left than to his right, just look at the goals conceded in Monacosays the former Canal+ polemicist. In the Scrabble played by Longoria this season, the fact that there was no challenge from Pau Lopez is a fairly serious sporting error. »

And Pierre Ménès brandishes the Lloris card in his argument: “ I think we will have to think about recruiting. I remind you for all intents and purposes that Hugo Lloris can arrive very easily and that between him and Pau Lopez, there is a gulf. » At 36, the former last bastion of the Blues has not hung up his gloves and remains under contract with Tottenham until 2024. A time announced close to the Saudi elite this summer, the person concerned was the subject of a rumor sending him back to Nice – his training club – in the last hours of the transfer window.
