OM may well have succeeded in this summer transfer window, recruiting Franck Ribéry's heir at gold.
OM recruitment suddenly accelerated last week. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Igor Peaceao landed in the Marseille city, to strengthen an offensive sector which had so far been the priority of Olympian leaders. A comeback for the first, a year after his departure in Saudi Arabia, and a big bet for the second, recruited 35 million euros (bonus included) at Feyenoord Rotterdam.
New most expensive player in the history of the club, the Brazilian winger (25 years old) remains in a season at 16 goals and 10 assists in Eredivisie. If he displays a similar yield in Ligue 1, Pablo Longoria and Medhi Benatia will have succeeded. “I want to bring all my qualities to OM, give my maximum, and I think we are going to do something big”said the one who was also courted by Leeds, in the Premier League.
Igor Peaceao, the new Franck Ribéry?
“I feel good, I can't wait to come back to help the team, I can't wait to tread the lawn of the velodrome, my family is waiting for this. I hope to be quickly ready, to help the team in the field, put goals and give assists. It's a dream to join the Brazilian national team, and if I play my best football here, it could help me realize it one day “added the former Coritiba player, capable of evolving on the left and on the right.
Due to his style, Igor Peaceao hopes to remind good memories of the Marseille supporters. “Players like (Franck) Ribéry have passed here, I have a bit of the same characteristics as him. With his dribbles, his goals, he had an exceptional career. It is a model, I hope to be able to mark the history of the club, like himhe said. I like to have fun on the ground, score goals, serve colleagues. »» The velodrome is just waiting for that to ignite.
