OM coach Roberto De Zerbi did not mince his words against Amine Harit, demanding greater efficiency and consistency from the Moroccan international. After a promising start to the season, the attacking midfielder saw his playing time decrease and his impact drop, a situation that De Zerbi no longer tolerates.
A 10-goal season for Harit
Despite interesting statistics at the start of the season (2 goals, 4 assists), Amine Harit, 27, has been in difficulty for several weeks. Suspended after a red card against PSG and hampered by physical problems, Harit is struggling to find a starting place in a squad where players like Mason Greenwood and Luis Henrique shine.
In an interview given to ProvenceDe Zerbi was clear about his expectations:
“Harit no longer has the right to repeat a season without scoring 10 goals. I push him and tell him this all the time. » The Italian technician believes that Harit’s age and experience should allow him to be more decisive and regular, like his best seasons, notably that of 2019-2020 with Schalke 04 (6 goals in 25 matches ).
An uncertain future for Harit at OM
De Zerbi also suggested that a departure during the winter transfer window was not ruled out if Harit failed to convince. For the moment, the Moroccan international seems to be fighting to regain his place, but the emergence of other talents and the repositioning of certain players, like Greenwood, are complicating his return to favor.
With this strong statement, De Zerbi sends a clear message: only a more efficient and decisive Harit will have his place in the Marseille squad.
