OM became active on the transfer market following the departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and the injury of Faris Moumbagna. In its search for offensive profiles, the Marseille club explored several options, ultimately resulting in the arrivals of Elye Wahi and Neal Maupay. But an Italian attacker would also have been contacted.
Dynamic and (very) ambitious on the transfer market this summer, loon faced daunting challenges to deliver a dream attack to Roberto De Zerbi. After the departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and the injury of Faris Moumbagnathe Marseille club found itself obliged to find a new center forward. This is howElye Wahi et Neal Maupay – The Best Of Neal Maupay set down their bags in Marseille, each bringing their style and experience to fill this offensive void. But the club did not stop there: prestigious avenues were explored, such as the one leading to Eddie Nketiah et Youssoufa Moukokoshowing Marseille's ambitions to strengthen their squad for the new season. The latter two remained unanswered, as did a lead leading to an Italian attacker which had not been revealed during the summer.
De Zerbi wanted Raspadori
And according to Francesco Modugnothis attacker was none other than Giacomo Raspadori. Indeed, according to the Italian journalist, Roberto DeZerbi had checked the name of the player playing at Napoli. The two men had worked together at Sassuolo.
“He’s a player who could have gone to Marseille”
« Raspadori? He is a player who could have gone to Marseille, who made a very serious offer to Naples this summer. The club refused. Roberto De Zerbi, who is the coach who appreciated him the most throughout his career, considers him a real center forward. The player also feels at home in this role “, declared Modugno at the microphone of Sky Sport. Giacomo Raspadori must certainly blame his current club since he has hardly played since the start of the season. The sparkling form of Romelu Lukaku condemns him to the status of replacement under the orders d'Antonio Conte. It remains to be seen if loon will try to relaunch his young career.
