The summer has started off with a bang in Marseille. Pablo Longoria pulled off a major coup by installing Roberto de Zerbi on the bench at the VĂ©lodrome, and he intends to offer the Italian coach some great weapons. Marseille have announced the arrival of Canadian star IsmaĂ«l KonĂ©, who is arriving from Watford, while Brest’s Lilian Brassier should soon follow.
Of course, Longoria and Benatia do not intend to stop there and they are already working on other avenues. With Pau Lopez who has a very strong chance of leaving, he who is notably coveted by Como in Serie A, the arrival of a starting goalkeeper seems essential. While the names of Brice Samba and Ilan Meslier have already come out, Provence explains that the Marseille leaders are interested in Filip Jorgensen, Villarreal goalkeeper.
Turkish international in the sights
At 22 years old, he has the same agents as Lopez, the media reports, and OM has already started talking with Villarreal and the Danish goalkeeper. Even though the player recently extended his contract until 2029, a departure cannot be ruled out, especially since there is competition in this case. OM must therefore act quickly, while waiting to know Villarreal’s exact requirements. This season, he has played 36 La Liga matches. In Germany this time, the press has revealed a second Marseille lead: Salih Ă–zcan.
The Turkish international, who played at the Euro with his country, is on his way to Borussia Dortmund. The price of the 26-year-old midfielder has been set at 10 million euros according to Sky Germanya rather affordable amount a priori. Stade Rennais, Besiktas and several Saudi clubs are also in the running. Salih Ă–zcan has played 23 Bundesliga matches this season, including 13 as a starter.
