OM will certainly experience a new off-season full of twists and turns. Among the players who could look elsewhere next summer: Pau Lopez.
In Marseille, we hope to experience great emotions at the end of the season. The Europa League is up for grabs and via Ligue 1, a European place is within reach for Jean-Louis Gasset’s men. Subsequently, and depending on the final results, OM will adjust its summer transfer market. Quite a few players are on borrowed time in the eyes of Pablo Longoria. Inconsistent since his arrival, Pau Lopez will not be spared. Especially if he does not rise to the occasion during the important deadlines which are coming up for Olympique de Marseille.
Pau Lopez, an increasingly unclear future at OM
According to information from The Team, Pablo Longoria recently made the decision to recruit a new goalkeeper next summer due to the mixed performances of Pau Lopez this season. Trust therefore seems broken between the goalkeeper, at the end of his contract in June 2026, and his management, who wants to rely on reliable and mentally up to par players. If Longoria wants to move on or at least put him in strong competition, the final decision will certainly be made by the new coach of the Marseille club, who is not yet known. As things currently stand, Faris Moumbagna, Quentin Merlin and Bamo Meïté are also among the players likely to leave Canebière next summer. New changes which risk worrying even more OM fans and observers about Pablo Longoria’s transfer window strategy. Especially since the Phocaeans are one of the European teams who sell their players the worst. There is no doubt that Frank McCourt will be most attentive to the results of his club but also to the behavior of Pablo Longoria.
