The season of Olympique de Marseille just over, the time is now for the big maneuvers for Marseille leaders. Like every summer, the transfer window promises to be particularly eventful at OM, Pablo Longoria and its teams intended to build a workforce capable of playing on tables, in the Champions League and in Ligue 1.

For the time being, the priority of the Olympian management is obviously to convince its executive players to continue the adventure at OM. If the departure of Luis Henrique seems to be active, Mason Greenwood or Adrien Rabiot are still in full reflection and the Marseille president will quickly speak with them to clarify their future, not dripping praise about the French.

“I just want to say something. I said it in December. I have never worked with someone like Adrien in all my career. At the human level, someone with Adrien's heart, I never found it in a football team, he said at a press conference. He arrives first, he leaves last. He's the player I want to put an example. Adrien is an example. We want to continue with him. For us, Adrien must be a very important player. And I would like Adrien to be an example for the stabilization of OM at European level. »»

“It is not the one who spends the most who has the best result”

But Olympique de Marseille also also intends to attract new players. However, the Olympian leaders want to be lucid about their financial means which do not authorize them to make follies. To this end, a signature of Antoine Griezmann, whose name is sometimes associated with OM, appears completely impossible.

“It is not the one who spends the most who has the best result. If there are great opportunities, we will try them. The goal is to bring back players compatible with our play philosophy, this city, this club. We sometimes see that players are not made for Marseille, explained for this purpose Medhi Benatia. We will work, we will strengthen this team because we need it. »»
