OM ‍: Longoria falls for a Frenchman from the Premier League

The Marseille transfer window is starting slowly, but Pablo Longoria is still looking to see if a nice catch is possible on the England side, where Romain Perraud could be looking for a new challenge.

The search for a left-back at Olympique de Marseille is not as recurrent as that of a top striker, but the Provençal club are still struggling to find the counterpart of Jonathan Clauss. In the past, Jordan Amavi, Sead Kolasinac or Nuno Tavares had their chances, without really managing to impose themselves over time. This is why Pablo Longoria put this file on the top of the pile in view of the transfer window. And according to information from the informant Treize013, contact has been established with Romain Perraud. The French defender ticks a lot of boxes, even if OM have denied having an interest in the latter. However, according to the player’s entourage, a touch did take place, and could even succeed if the discussions continue to go in the right direction.

Romain Perraud ticks a lot of boxes

It must be said that Romain Perraud already has experience in France, since the native of Toulouse knew Ligue 1 with OGC Nice, then especially with Brest, where he had revealed himself. Southampton had recruited him to make him a player in constant progression, but who could not prevent the relegation of the Saints. The coastal club plans to sell its player, like a majority of its workforce, which may be available at a slightly reduced price, even if it remains English sauce. Something to interest OM, especially since Perraud is still young at 25 and has the physical qualities capable of leading a corridor in both parts of the field. Many qualities for the former French youth international who had been bought 10 ME by Southampton, and now sees his value being estimated at 12 ME. An amount that Pablo Longoria is therefore considering putting in, but which could be worth it if it allows OM to finally be quiet in this position.
