After having recruited massively last summer, Olympique de Marseille could still make some adjustments during the January transfer window. Marseille decision-makers would particularly like to strengthen the midfield.
If the name of N’Golo KantĂ©, at the end of his contract next June with Al-Ittihad, has been circulating in recent days, another French international is also making Marseille fans dream. This is Manu KonĂ©, who could leave AS Roma this winter.
“In profile, I would like a Manu Koné-style profile at OM”launched journalist Slim Hanayen in the program “L’OM au Café” on Phocaeanand add: “
I need an impactful midfielder, that also speaks of a number ten but I don’t have the impression that we need a playmaker. In my opinion, we need more of a midfielder who will take responsibility in the game, who will sometimes take risks. I need to have a player who breaks the lines, who brings the surplus. Our communities are not doing this enough. Hojbjerg tries to do it but it’s not in his DNA. »
“Obviously, it’s unattainable for OM”
However, Hanayen is well aware that the arrival of Manu KonĂ© on the Canebière is a fantasy. “ I would go more for this type of profile. In name, I say Manu KonĂ© because that speaks to everyone in terms of profile. Obviously, it’s unattainable for OM today but that’s the idea, he agreed. On the other hand, I would not be for a return of Guendouzi. It’s not this type of environment that I miss in Marseille. »
In the sights of the biggest European teams, including Paris Saint-Germain, Manu Koné has a value estimated at 50 million euros by the specialist site Transfermarkt.
