Olympique de Marseille did not waste time to launch its large summer maneuvers. While the Marseille club must imperatively “bring in fresh money” in the funds by June 30 to balance its accounts and calmly prepare the next exercise, which will see it find the Champions League, excellent news has just fallen. A surprise sale, and particularly profitable, has just been concluded, offering a real “bowl of financial air” to the Marseille management. Enough to allow Pablo Longoria and Medhi Benatia to approach the transfer window with ambitions revised upwards and increased means to shape the team of Roberto de Zerbi.
Luis Henrique at Inter: the surprise sale that fills the boxes!
The key player whose departure turns out to be a financial “blessing” for OM is none other than Luis Henrique. According to daily information Provencethe Brazilian winger will engage with Inter Milan for an amount of around 25 million euros. An “unexpected deal”, specifies the newspaper, for a player bought 8 million euros in Botafogo in September 2020. This substantial capital gain not only amortized the initial investment but above all offers a precious financial windfall at OM at the start of the transfer window.
Jackpot for OM! An unexpected silver return relaunches the transfer window!
A flash rebirth before a well -negotiated departure
Luis Henrique's journey to Marseille will have been contrasting to say the least. Long considered a disappointed hope, it was initially “not long caught” this season. But a discussion with Roberto de Zerbi on his return from loan in January 2024 would have “changed everything”. The Brazilian then exploded in the first part of the season, scoring 11 goals before the end of February and becoming a major element of the Olympian eleven. If his second half of the exercise was more discreet, his first six months high volley will have been enough to attract the eye of large clubs like Inter and allow OM to carry out this excellent financial operation.
A paid “sacrifice”: can OM now dream big?
If the departure of a player who had a certain impact, even on a half-season, can sadde some supporters, it is clearly a “evil for a good” from a strategic and financial point of view. This transfer is proof of the capacity of the Marseille management to enhance its assets. With these 25 million euros, OM offers a significant room for maneuver for
“Project yourself, see far and plan your summer transfer window well”as your analysis pointed out. Credit returns to the entire management for having been able to transform an uncertain situation into a lucrative opportunity.
The Marseille transfer window is launched (and well launched!)
The Marseille Olympique summer transfer window could not start better. This surprise transfer from Luis Henrique to Inter Milan for a substantial sum ideally launches the Marseille recruitment campaign. Supporters can now hope to see quality reinforcements arrive to allow OM to shine in Ligue 1 and, above all, to appear in the Champions League next season. Management has the cards in hand.
