Olympique de Marseille did not wait for the end of the season to activate its tracks. As the race for Europe is in full swing, the Marseille leaders anticipate a decisive transfer window. With the ambition to return strongly to the continental scene, the club seeks to strengthen its rearguard. A priority clearly displayed by Roberto de Zerbi, who wants an experienced man to solidify his defense.
The name that circulates insistently in the corridors of the velodrome is none other than that of Jonathan Tah. The German international, figurehead of Bayer Leverkusen, would be at the end of the Bundesliga cycle. Free of any contract at the end of the season, it would represent a great opportunity to seize for the Olympian board. Solid, experienced, natural leader: all lights are green.
Marseille is preparing a XXL blow with a German international
But to attract such a caliber, OM will have to build its argument. And it first goes through a qualification in the Champions League. Without this window, it will be difficult to convince Tah, courted by major clubs. At 28, the defender wants to cross a new CAP, in an ambitious and competitive project. Marseille could be this springboard, provided you secure its place in the top 3.
Tah at OM? The transfer that panics the Canebière
The file is far from simple. FC Barcelona, ​​in particular, would have already made contact with the Tah clan. The attraction of Camp Nou, combined with a recruitment policy refocused on defensive solidity, places Barça as a serious pretender. OM will have to take out the fangs, and undoubtedly get their hands in the pocket to hope to win the bet.
The arrival of a player like Jonathan Tah would send a strong message. This would mark an OM's assumed will to play in the big leagues. It remains to materialize the interest before others are ahead of the Phocaeans.
