The winter transfer window is approaching, and Olympique de Marseille is already getting excited. If the name of Paul Pogba has been mentioned for several weeks, another, more daring avenue is attracting attention. According to Jean-Charles De Bono, former player and consultant for
Marseille Football ClubOM should try to recruit Antoine Griezmann, star of Atlético de Madrid and fervent supporter of the Marseille club.
For De Bono, attracting Antoine Griezmann would be a better option than signing Paul Pogba. “Griezmann can play in several positions and would be a huge plus in the squad. Plus, he loves OM, he has always claimed it”he declared. According to him, recruiting Pogba could unbalance the team by ousting Valentin Rongier, while Griezmann would offer versatility and immediate impact.
Rather MLS for Griezmann?
However, the former Colchonero seems difficult to dislodge this winter. Under contract with Atlético Madrid, Griezmann would favor an end of the season in Spain before potentially exploring MLS, as mentioned by several media.
Even if a transfer seems unlikely in the short term, the idea of a Griezmann at OM resonates with the growing ambitions of the club. After signing names like Adrien Rabiot or Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, Marseille could strike a new media blow. It remains to be seen whether this dream can come true in the next transfer windows.
