If Olympique de Marseille has been discreet on the transfer market, it is because it was necessary to first settle the problem of the coach. After the formalization of Marcelino, the Marseille club is in the process of offering its first reinforcement, the value of which is enough to make you dream.
With the arrival of Marcelino, until June 2025, OM have their coach and can finally focus on their summer transfer window. Several reinforcements are expected in Marseille, in different areas of the game, the idea being to act quickly since the Marseille club must snatch its ticket for the Champions League in the middle of summer. The first recruit of the Marcelino era could also be at midfield. Provence explains that Geoffrey Kondogbia should in all likelihood be the first player to be recruited by OM this summer. A new midfielder in Marseille who risks having to part with a player to make room for the Central African international (9 caps) who has always had a very good rating with European clubs.

At 30, Geoffrey Kondogbia has already evolved in six different clubs for three championships. France with RC Lens and AS Monaco, Italy with a move to AS Roma and then Spain, the league where Kondogbia played the most with FC Sevilla, Valencia and more recently Atletico Madrid . In total, the former French international (5 selections) was transferred for a total amount of 104 million euros since OM should offer 7 million to the Colchoneros to recruit the native of Nemours. A very large sum, which confirms that Kondogbia has always attracted clubs ready to pay a high price for him. However, with the imminent arrival of the midfielder, OM are going to get rid of a player in this sector. If Mattéo Guendouzi is announced on departure, we are talking about a transfer to West Ham, it is Pape Gueye, loaned to Seville this season, who will probably pay the price for the transfer of Geoffrey Kondogbia to Marseille.
