Qualified for the Champions League after its second place behind Paris Saint-Germain at the end of last season, Olympique de Marseille is on all fronts. Pablo Longoria, Mehdi Benatia and Roberto de Zerbi draw the contours of a workforce that will have to meet expectations on the European scene.
With this in mind, the defensive sector is a priority. In great difficulty behind, OM has conceded far too many goals last season and wishes to renew its rearguard in large widths. The Argentinian international defender Facundo Medina is one of the profiles targeted by the club.

While negotiations with Racing Club of Lens have already started, the possibility of including a player from the Marseille workforce in the deal would have been mentioned. And the management of OM was thus planning to separate from Neal Maupay. But this file is more complex than expected.
Maupay does not want to leave OM
According to information from 10 Sport, Neal Maupay is not interested in the Racing Club of Lens challenge. Arrived a year ago to bring competition to Elye Wahi (party since), the 28 -year -old striker first garnered playing time, before being relegated in the shadow of Amine Gouri in the second part of the season.
But this downgrading would not have changed the summer of Neal Maupay: the former Stéphanois would be determined to win in Marseille. Aware that the charged calendar could install competition, the center-forward, transferred definitively after an initial loan, hopes to have a card to play.
