While Olympique Marseille is plagued by big offensive problems, a well-known striker has offered his services.

After a summer transfer window singled out by supporters, Olympique de Marseille remains very capable of improvement on the offensive level. Despite a successful week in accounting terms with victories against Ajax Amsterdam (4-3) and Stade Rennais (2-0), the Marseille club is not spared from criticism for the proposed game.
In this context, the possibility of seeing Olympique de Marseille active on the transfer market this winter cannot be ruled out. Pablo Longoria and Mehdi Benatia could activate their networks to boost an attack that is still very tender. But opportunities are not everywhere. However, a well-known player in the Vélodrome would have offered his services: Florian Thauvin.

The call of the foot of this darling of the Marseille public

The 2018 world champion left OM through a very small door in 2021, to sign up at the time with the Monterrey Tigers. But Thauvin did not win in Mexico. Back in Europe, at Udinese, the left-hander seems nostalgic for his time in Marseille. This is what he confided in an interview with Canal Football Club.
“A return to OM? This is a difficult question. I am a player, I have a contract with Udinese. There are players who play for OM, we must respect them too. Before being a football player, I am an OM supporter, so obviously you want to put on the jersey and help them. »

An outing that did not go unnoticed by the supporters. Given the current performance of certain attackers in the squad, Thauvin could provide added value if he manages to regain his best level, at the age of 30.
