With a qualification in the Champions League already in pocket, Olympique de Marseille does not want to waste time. The club staff activates to offer Roberto de Zerbi a competitive workforce, both in France and internationally. The watchword is clear: hitting quickly and strong. Internally, the desire is to lead an ambitious transfer window, with targeted profiles and an assertive sports vision. Large maneuvers have already started in the Vélodrome offices.

The first concrete movement could be formalized in the coming days. OM would be very close to finalizing the arrival of Angel Gomes, a versatile attacking midfielder, since his departure from Lille. Courted by several Premier League clubs, notably Tottenham, the player would have chosen Marseille, seduced by the speech of the Marseille management. This file, in the process of being concluded, would mark the start of a restless summer on the transfer market.

Eight reinforcements and well -defined profiles for this transfer window

Olympique de Marseille aims wide. Eight positions have been identified as priority, including two central defenders, two side, a holder left winger, a dining on the right, an attacker in support from Gouiri, and an additional environment. The Bennacer case remains unanswered, but an extension of his loan is not to be excluded. Through this plan, the club intends to fill the structural gaps in the workforce and strengthen the depth of bench.

This transfer window is also the work of a strong understanding between Roberto de Zerbi and the Marseille management. The Italian technician, asked by Tottenham, preferred to stay in Marseille. A strong choice, which illustrates his faith in the project. Convinced by the vision of Pablo Longoria and Medhi Benatia, of Zerbi is fully involved in the construction of this team. His personal involvement in recruitment shows that OM now projects himself as a serious actor on the European scene.

As the takeover approach, OM wants to send a strong signal to its competitors. By strengthening all sectors of play and based on an involved coach, Marseille displays his ambition: to become a strong place in European football. Summer will be long, and multiple negotiations, but the roadmap is clear. It remains to transform this well thought out strategy into a truly impactful recruitment.
