Pablo Longoria will very soon move on to major maneuvers on the transfer window, with a huge sale to please Frank McCourt, the owner of OM?
With the arrival of Marcelino as coach of Olympique de Marseille, Pablo Longoria ensures total control over the transfer window. No more coaches who cringe at recruits who do not suit them and slam the door at the end of the season. The Spanish coach has very clear principles of play and discipline, but he does not really intervene in the constitution of the workforce apart from a few profiles that are important to him. As a result, Pablo Longoria can already work on the upcoming transfer window and the sale of Arek Milik to Juventus is a great financial transaction if not a sporting success.

But the president of OM can do much better. And he is wisely waiting to be served to achieve perhaps one of the best sales in the history of the club. In the past, Michy Batshuayi and Didier Drogba, both to Chelsea, had approached the bar of 40 million euros in the pockets of the Marseille club. The Spanish leader hopes to approach it with Matteo Guendouzi. The French international has a very good market value, especially in England, after a first contrasting stint in the Premier League with Arsenal. But his status as a player with character, physically strong and eager to relaunch after the last few months when he was blacklisted by Igor Tudor at OM, makes him the target of choice for West Ham.
West Ham extremely wealthy before calling OM?
The English club is currently well served in this position with Declan Rice. But the English international is targeted by Arsenal, who offered 90 million euros, then 100 million euros, without convincing the Hammers. The English press evokes a desire for West Ham to recover 117 million euros for his midfielder, bonus included. An incredible transfer like only the Premier League can make, but which would make Frank McCourt happy if it then materialized with a very good offer to bring in Mattéo Guendouzi. OM hope in any case to recover more than 30 million euros, three times the price paid to bring him from Arsenal.
