This summer, Olympique de Marseille set the Mercato on fire by notably achieving big moves like Mason Greenwood, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Elye Wahi and Adrien Rabiot to name a few. A strategy that could continue over time at a time when rumors concerning Paul Pogba have gained momentum since the end of his adventure at Juventus. In the meantime, another French international could have joined the banks of the Canebière this summer, according to information from L'Equipe.
The sports daily reveals that Anthony Martial was approached by OM but that he would not have shown a real desire to settle down in the south of France, he who finally bounced back on the side of AEK Athens.
Martial said no, OM ready to try again for David?
Regarding the next summer transfer window, the current third in Ligue 1 could strike hard again. In addition to Martial, Daniel Riolo revealed in RMC's After Foot that OM had also tried for Jonathan David but that the price asked by LOSC was too high: “Jonathan David was approached by OM last summer, except that OM could not afford him. OM spoke with his agent” he explained. Free at the end of the season, it will therefore be interesting to see if the Marseille club will try its luck again, while the Canadian would already be followed by many European big names such as Barça, Juventus or even AC Milan.
Yesterday evening, Olivier Létang took stock of the future of his protégé on RMC: “We didn't get any offers. Our position is very clear. We thought about the athlete. Jonathan, obviously, he already has an extension offer. The ball is in his court. He will return tomorrow from selection. We have a lot of discussions about the fact that he can stay with us. He won't leave until at least January. He will stay with us, because he is an important player“. This has the merit of being clear.
