OM is still looking for a striker. Mason Greenwood will not be enough to carry this sector of the game on his own, especially since he is not a pure center forward. Several names have been mentioned in recent weeks. We told you about the case of Eddie Nketiah, who plays for Arsenal. The English club has opened the door to his departure, but no agreement has been reached for the moment. At the same time, the Alexis Sánchez track seems to be slowly fading away. Bringing back the Chilean, a year after his departure, is not a consensus internally.
A new lead has opened up since last week. Youssoufa Moukoko is in Ligue 1’s sights. Stade Rennais has an eye on him, as does LOSC, but as we reported, the young striker has a priority in mind now. To come to France, it’s OM or nothing. The Phocéens have a free hand to act on this matter, especially since Borussia Dortmund has opened the door wide to his departure. Once considered the club’s great hope, the 19-year-old player is no longer unanimous.
BVB has already found a replacement for Moukoko
BVB is expecting between €15 and €20 million to let him go, but before going any further, the German club first wants to find his replacement. According to the Ruhr Newsa local media outlet well-informed about the Marsupials, this successor has already been found. It is Maximilian Beier, a 21-year-old striker still under contract with Hoffenheim until 2027. The management will not let him go easily, but money is not really a problem in Dortmund. Proof of this is with this latest information from Imagethis Friday morning.
The player, who scored 16 goals last season, has already said yes to BVB. The Ruhr club has even prepared an offer of €25 million to its counterpart to convince him. Hoffenheim would like to get a little more, around €30 million, but for Imagethe deal is already closed. Beier will be a Borussia player in the coming days. Very good news for Olympique de Marseille, who are therefore able to move forward on this new, very exciting case for the supporters.
