OM, a Bayern crack in the sights?

Still looking for a striker, OM would try to lend themselves a great hope of French football.

The days pass and nothing really moves at OM. If Geoffrey Kondogbia joined the club on June 30, Marseille is still waiting for other reinforcements. It is in defense, especially on the left side, and in attack, a sector deserted by an Alexis Sanchez who is playing for time to extend, that the site is the most important. In recent hours, the tracks leading to Renan Lodi (Atlético Madrid) and Iliman Ndiaye (Sheffield United) have been mentioned, but no agreement in principle has yet been reached.

Other targets would be in the sights of Pablo Longoria and his staff who are looking, like every summer, to recruit smart. According Sports Daily, the Olympian leaders would closely follow the situation of Mathys Tel in particular. Author of remarkable debut in the Bundesliga last season (5 goals in 22 matches, 1 goal every 79 minutes), the young French striker (18 years old) would please Marcelino, the new Spanish coach of Ciel et Blanc, who would militate internally for his arrival.

OM are not alone on the spot

This option would be considered because Bayern Munich would intend to lend the tricolor hope this season, a year after poaching him at Stade Rennais for 20 million euros. Big problem for the Phocaeans, they would not be in pole position on this issue. Werder Bremen would have already started discussions with the reigning German champions, an option which would not particularly appeal to the player if we are to believe the latest statements from his representative, Gadiri Camara.

“A loan is not an option. I do not confirm the rumors about a possible loan to Werder”, his agent said in a statement, posted on Twitter by Florian Plettenberg, journalist for Sky Sport. And add in the columns of Bild: “A lot of European clubs would like to have Mathys, and not small clubs. But it is very clear to us that Mathys will stay at Bayern to progress. » Bad news for OM, even if Pablo Longoria would keep “good hope”.
