OM, first good move for the transfer window?

Alexis Sanchez last season, Joaquin Correa on loan this year, OM regularly draws on the Inter Milan squad. He left to start again this winter since he is targeting Lucien Agoumé.

Some channels work better than others when it comes to selling, buying or loaning players. The one that links Olympique de Marseille to Inter Milan is part of what works. At least in the Italy-France direction. Last season, the Marseille club was able to convince Alexis Sanchez to come and seek playing time, with the success that we know. Last summer, the Chilean returned to the Nerazzurri, while Joaquin Correa went the opposite way, in the form of a loan. A much less conclusive operation, which does not prevent OM from continuing to eye Milan.

According to information released Wednesday by RMC, the Marseille president, Pablo Longoria, would have set his sights on Lucien Agoumé. No stranger to Ligue 1, the defensive midfielder has already played at Stade Brestois and was loaned to Troyes last season. Back at Inter, Agoumé does not really fit into Simone Inzaghi’s plans, who rarely plays him. Marseille has therefore positioned itself to have it loaned and compensate for the departure of numerous elements at the African Cup of Nations.

Liga or Ligue 1?

However, and even if OM seems to be holding the lead for the moment, the media specified that Sevilla FC was also on the case. The final choice should depend on the person concerned. Between a La Liga club fighting to stay and a Ligue 1 club fighting for a European place, he will have to decide.
