Between the departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Saudi Arabia, the injury of Faris Moumbagna and the very contrasting debut of Elye Wahi, theMarseille Olympics was looking for a centre forward in the final hours of this summer transfer window.
And the Marseille club has found its ideal player. It is Neal Maupay. As reported by L’Équipe and RMC Sport, the arrival of the former Nice player has been finalized. The player, for his part, confirmed his departure on social networks. Marseille has managed to find common ground with Everton for a transfer in the form of a one-year paid loan, worth 500,000 euros, with a purchase option of 5.5 million euros and 3 million in bonuses.
A choice reinforcement for OM
By securing the services of this 28-year-old striker, Olympique de Marseille has made a nice move before the market closes on Friday evening at midnight. Roberto De Zerbi will have an additional option in his attacking sector with this mobile and efficient striker.
With a great deal of experience in the Premier League, Maupay should bring his goal-scoring skills to the forefront of an attack that is still in the process of being tested. Having played for Nice, but also Saint-Etienne and Brest, the Franco-Argentine striker will not need to acclimatise to Ligue 1.
