Two new departures in sight at OM!

OM took a big financial risk this summer, according to Pablo Longoria. The club must absolutely qualify for the Champions League to avoid a major economic imbalance.

Pablo Longoria revealed that Olympique de Marseille took a big financial risk this summer, during an interview with The Team. Despite the absence of a European Cup this season, OM conducted an ambitious transfer window by attracting several important recruits.

According to Longoria, the club chose to “make sacrifices in the first year” by offering lower salaries. However, from the 2025-2026 season, salary costs will increase significantly.

The Champions League, key to OM’s financial stability

To avoid a delicate economic situation, OM must absolutely qualify for the Champions League next season. The Marseille president confided that investor Frank McCourt is ready to support the project.

But without the income from the C1, the club could experience a financial imbalance. The challenge is therefore immense for Roberto De Zerbi, the coach, who must guide the team towards an essential European qualification.
