Olympique de Marseille should be one of the great players in the next summer transfer window.

It has become a habit since the arrival of Pablo Longoria: theOlympique de Marseille concentrate all attentions to each transfer window. Next summer will not derogate from the rule, especially since the prospect of competing again the prestigious Champions League strengthens the ambitions of the Phocaean club.

Once again, Olympique de Marseille should record many reinforcements. Recruits are expected in all lines. The two most perfectible sectors, defense and attack, will be well retouched, while the midfielder is already well stocked.

Pablo Longoria provides total support to Roberto de Zerbi.

A final transfer for OM

Arrived last summer in the form of a loan from Norwich City, Jonathan Rowe will register over time at OM. RMC specifies that the option to buy the 21 -year -old English striker is well compulsory. Its final transfer to Marseille is therefore made.

Then, he paid the team's problems a bit, the change of game system, as well as the adaptation to a different championship and to a club as important and prestigious as OM. On the ground, he lost himself a little on the way. But thereafter, by dint of efforts in training and good performances, he deserved to find more playing time. Today, he really puts me in difficulty in terms of choices, because he can play center forward, enter during the match like against Montpellier, or start as against Monaco. He is really a strong, talented player, but who must be accompanied and help. I would have liked him to do even more. Perhaps sometimes, I too, I was wrong by giving him no more opportunities. But I think this season was important for him, because he has managed to adapt, and he can only progress yet … “.
