Announced in England or Saudi Arabia, it could remain in Ligue 1, but not in the North. Actively looking for a new goalkeeper, theOlympique de Marseille has looked into the Brice Samba case.
Marseille wants to get Brice Samba back
With the arrival of Roberto De Zerbi, Pablo Longoria is looking to create the best team for the new coach. Open to a new challenge for next season, Pau Lopez is no longer in the good books in the Phocaean city. Considered not decisive enough, the Spanish goalkeeper will not be retained by the Marseille club. He could bounce back on the side of Como, just promoted to Serie A.
A sign of a fracture, the club is actively looking for a replacement. If Brice Samba is announced as the successor of Pau Lopez, Illan Meslier has been contacted by OM. The Leeds United goalkeeper would be happy to return to France. The only condition for his return would be that the two clubs find common ground on the transfer amount. But Brice Samba seems to have a head start.
According to Marwan Belkacem, OM and the RC Lens goalkeeper have agreed on a salary. The only thing that is blocking is the amount requested by the Blood and Gold club. The compensation that RC Lens wants is considered excessive by the Marseille club. The French international would be happy to return to Marseille, the club in which he played between 2013 and 2017.
