Wipe the slate clean. After a bumpy and chaotic season, the idea of the leaders is to start a stable and calm cycle. The first measure that was unanimously approved by the Olympique faithful, the recruitment of Roberto De Zerbi. The DNCG gave the club free rein, the transfer window is underway faster than a year ago, with the arrivals of Lilian Brassier and Ismaël Koné almost complete, great sales (Vitinha, Iliman Ndiaye) have been made to make up for past mistakes and make up for lost money economically. Blue sky without a cloud on the horizon for the new OM, then? Not really.
Wiping the slate clean, or not, is also the subject of the thorny Mason Greenwood case, whose interest from OM was revealed in the English media on Thursday and was confirmed to us. The player, with whom the OM staff spoke, is excellent: he has both feet and can play in the center or on both sides of the attack, and he relaunched on loan at Getafe last season (10 goals, 6 assists) after a year and a half without playing. This is where the problem lies: Greenwood was suspended by his long-time club, Manchester United, because he was being prosecuted by the English courts for attempted rape and assault.
