An Olympique de Marseille addicted to the transfer window. Accustomed to lively transfer markets, OM did very well again last summer. But according to the newspaper information The Teamthe Olympians could have been even more active.
The national sports daily claims that OM was very interested in the profile of a certain Anthony Martial. At the end of his contract with Manchester United, the striker, who played for OL and AS Monaco, caught the eye of the Marseille decision-makers.
Now at AEK Athens, his profile had been studied before the appointment of Roberto De Zerbi as coach, but also after. OM was not the only Ligue 1 club to look into the matter according to The Team.
LOSC had also tried an approach, at the end of the transfer window. Discussions with the former Manchester United player's advisors were ultimately unsuccessful, with the striker heading to the Greek championship.
