After a mixed season, the Spanish goalkeeper Pau Lopez could leave OM to join Como in Serie A. With the arrival of Roberto De Zerbi at the head of the club, an ambitious project is taking shape for the Marseille team, which plans new recruits at all levels, starting with the Guardian.
Pau Lopez heading to Italy
Arriving in 2021 to succeed Olympique de Marseille legend Steve Mandanda, it could well be that Spanish goalkeeper Pau Lopez will join Italy this summer. During a mixed season where OM conceded 63 goals in 49 games, the presence of the native of Girona was called into question.
This Marseille season was itself mixed, with a good run in the Europa League, due to an early elimination in the preliminary round of the Champions League against Panathinaikos. An elimination which was decided on penalties with Ruben Blanco in goal. The second Marseille goalkeeper took his place replacing Pau Lopez, judged poor in the exercise.
According to the journalist https://twitter.com/DiMarzio/status/1805720903411495023?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1805720903411495023%7Ctwgr%5Ee11c6e4cbc32f7525884e09a7059a0f2270ee818%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.topmercato.com%2F1782468-om-un-club-de-serie-a-debarque-sur-pau-lopez%2F, the Como club, freshly returned to Serie A, has positioned itself on the Spanish goalkeeper. The Italian club will return to Serie A next year, after a 21-year drought without having returned to the elite of Italian football. Their trainer Cesc Fabregas tries to personally convince Pau Lopez to join his project.
A change of squad with De Zerbi at OM
With the arrival of Roberto De Zerbi as OM coach, a new ambitious game project has seen the light of day in the Marseille city. The coach is already very personally involved in the transfer window. It is the leaders and De Zerbi himself who would push the goalkeeper towards the exit.
The 45-year-old Italian coach has very clear playing precepts and knows the type of player he wants in the transfer window. According to Fabrizio Romano, Lilian Brassier should be the first recruit of this transfer window, followed by Ismael Koné, the Watford midfielder. Rennes player Lorenz Assignon should also join the Phocaean city. The latter comes to replace Jonathan Clauss, pushed towards the exit by the Marseille leaders.
