While OM works on its winter transfer window, Daniel Riolo has drawn up a scathing observation for Marseille’s ambitions.
Olympique de Marseille went first. Eleven days after the opening of the winter transfer window, President Pablo Longoria’s team formalized the arrival of Jean Onana on Thursday. The twenty-four-year-old defensive midfielder, who arrived on loan (with option to buy) from Besiktas, could be the first in a series of arrivals, but also departures, in the Marseille ranks. Regardless, and as much movement as there may be, some are not optimistic about the overall quality of potential recruits.
First mentioning Jean Onana on the air of RMC, Daniel Riolo gave his specific opinion on the player, before moving on to a more general analysis of the winter transfer window, 2022-2023 version. “ It’s not going to excite the crowds. Last year at OM, and no matter how it ended, Ounahi made the crowds dream and Vitinha intrigued. »And the journalist continues with the current winter transfer window: “There, I have the impression that in this transfer window, the emotion machine is in the cellar. »
“It’s not a club where cracks will come”
Often acidic in his speeches, Daniel Riolo continued his reasoning, after having said a few words about the disappointment that Vitinha represents in his eyes: “ I think that says a lot about what OM is in the end. This is not a club where cracks will come. This is not a club where Champions League players will come. These are tired players, at the end of their career, like Aubameyang, or guys who come back from a little bit of nowhere, like Jean Onana, who are failing in Europe. This is the sad reality of OM. »
