The winter transfer window has just opened its doors and behind the scenes, the clubs are already working very hard to refine their squads. This is particularly the case for OM, whose primary ambition would be to downsize a squad which includes several players who play very little. The objective will be to reduce the payroll, but as usual, Pablo Longoria will remain on the lookout for a good deal. But what will be the first Olympian operation in January?
Here we go for a little over a month of transfer window! The winter market has just officially opened its doors, and will last this year until February 3. The opportunity for many clubs to refine their squads, andABOUT will once again be on the lookout. Author of a very encouraging first part of the season, the Marseille club will be keen to build on this good dynamic and this could require some adjustments during the transfer window. Pablo Longoria et Medhi Benatia never miss an opportunity in the transfer window.
Priority departures
However, the priority ofABOUT will initially be to downsize its squad which is far too bloated for a team which does not play in Europe. And above all, with a view to continuing to reduce its payroll. With this in mind, Roberto DeZerbi made strong choices and several players no longer fit into his plans. The priority will be to separate from Chancel Mbembaremoved from the group. Bamo Meitewho also plays very little, will also be pushed at the start, just like Lilian Brassier. Arrived last summer from Brestthe defender failed to convince and will not be kept in the event of a good offer. Finally, the case Elye Wahi seems more delicate. Although he disappointed to the point of losing his starting place, the former player of the RC Lens should be preserved, theABOUT having invested a lot in him.
On the lookout for a good deal in the transfer window?
In the direction of arrivals, it should be calmer. In the event of sales, theABOUT will possibly seek to compensate with a recruit, and it is probably in defense that the Marseille club needs the most. This is indeed the least performing sector since the start of the season since Roberto DeZerbi struggling to find the ideal complement to Leonardo Balerdi. Chancel Mbemba was excluded from the group, while Bamo Méité does not enter into the Italian's plans and that Lilian Brassieron which theABOUT had high hopes, but was disappointed. A central player could therefore arrive, just like a right side, a position for which neither Pol Lirolais Amir Murillo have not fully convinced. In midfield, the strongest sector of theABOUTthis should not move, while when attacking, everything will essentially depend on possible departures.
In your opinion, what will be OM's first transfer?
