Olympique de Marseille has activated considerably in recent hours. While Roberto de Zerbi's men will face Olympique Lyonnais this evening as part of the famous Olympico, still eagerly awaited by supporters of the two training courses, the bump on several files at the same time behind the scenes, and Pablo Longoria and Medhi Benatia will not unemployment by Monday evening.
There is bound to be the case Adrien Rabiot, particularly difficult to manage, especially because the two parties camp on their position and watched a cold war. On Saturday, the club in the south of France advanced considerably in a new file, as revealed in our columns. The Belgian midfielder of the RB Leipzig Arthur Vermeeren should thus engage with the Phocaeans as part of a loan with option to buy. The player even arrived in Marseille on Saturday evening as indicated in various publications posted by supporters who came to welcome him at the airport.
Back to Ligue 1
And now another player should accompany Vermeeren in Marseille in the coming hours. According to our information, everything is completed between Emerson Palmieri (West Ham) and OM. The 31-year-old Italian-Brazilian left-back will cost Marseillais € 700,000 only, with an additional € 300,000 in the form of a bonus. An inexpensive operation for a player with a sacred experience, and even knowing Ligue 1, since he had evolved at OL during the 2021/2022 financial year.
Passed by teams like Chelsea and Roma, the Italian international (29 selections) will bring all his experience to Olympique de Marseille. Rather well used in West Ham last season, with 31 Premier League appearances, including 26 tenure, it is not a bet or a player who tries to relaunch a stagnant career, but an operational player and who, on paper at least, should bring a lot to his new coach and compatriot.
