No time to lose for Olympique de Marseille. After a very disappointing season on a sporting level and this non-qualification for the Champions League, the time has come for a revolution within the Marseille club. In the organization chart first, with the appointment of the new president Stéphane Richard after the departure of Pablo Longoria at the end of March, then that of Grégory Lorenzi as Sports Director in place of Mehdi Benatia.
“ My objective is to contribute to the construction of a sustainable sporting project, anchored on clear values and on the confidence placed in the players who wear these colors. We will work rigorously, in the interest of the club and its supporters,” declared the former manager of Stade Brestois on the OM website.
Several avenues are then explored by the new Richard-Lorenzi tandem, which has been officiating since this Thursday. One of them leads to Yacine Titraoui, an Algerian international with five selections summoned by Vladimir Petkovic to participate in the next World Cup.
Titraoui pleases OM, but…
Indeed, according to information from insider Polprins confirmed by the specialized site DZ Footballthe environment of Charleroi, in Belgium, pleases the Marseille management. The first exchanges have apparently already taken place with the player, only 22 years old, author of five goals and three assists in 42 matches in all competitions this season.
In terms of price, a minimum of 12 million euros are being requested by the Belgian team in order to free their nugget, under contract until 2027. Sunderland, qualified for the next Europa League just like Olympique de Marseille, is holding the rope for the moment.
