The summer was definitely hot for Olympique de Marseille but in terms of departure. Not making a single recruit, the Marseille club was active in terms of departures. Ethan Nwaneri (Arsenal), Arthur Vermeeren (RB Leipzig) and Benjamin Pavard (Inter Milan) were not retained after a disappointing loan. Seven other elements also left the ship over the course of the transfer window.
Olympique de Marseille was thus able to recover 70 million euros with the departures of Mason Greenwood (Fenerbahçe), Facundo Medina (Bayer Leverkusen), Geronimo Rulli (Mancehster City), Hamed Junior Traoré (Genoa), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Deportivo La Corogne), Leonardo Balerdi (AS Roma) and Bilal Nadir (Hamburg). The Phocéens will offer themselves another nice last minute check.
One last sale for OM
Arriving last winter from Feyenoord for just 4.5 million euros, Quinten Timber (25) quickly impressed in midfield. The Dutch international thus convinced Crystal Palace to take action at the end of the transfer window. The Eagles paid around 18 million euros to finalize the operation.
“Olympique de Marseille announces the transfer of Quinten Timber to Crystal Palace. The club thanks the Dutch midfielder and wishes him the best for the rest of his career.» we can read in a press release. Despite the closure of the transfer window in France in terms of arrivals, OM are still working on exits until the last minute.
