Olympique de Marseille had a makeover during the last transfer session. Twelve new faces were presented as OM players and these significant financial investments would turn against Marseille leaders and the club's finances in the event of sporting failure according to Christophe Dugarry.
Medhi Benatia became the sports advisor of Pablo Longoria in November 2023 following the changes made within the management of the'About. The president of the Marseille club began a new sporting project in the months following the appointment of Benatiaevidenced by the XXL summer transfer window led by theMarseille Olympic.
OM made a risky bet on the transfer window?
As a reminder, OM carried out massive recruitment by securing no less than twelve recruits including Mason Greenwood or even Adrien Rabiot to name just a few. However, these recruits galore are part of a double-edged economic bet: a sporting success to justify it or a bitter failure which would lead to a new exodus at the end of the season.
“If they don't reach the Champions League target, they will be forced to sell everything”
This is in fact the speech made by Christophe Dugarry at the end of last week on the airwaves of RMC for the show Rothen bursts into flames.
“Marseille is trying something over the course of a year. If they don't reach the Champions League target, they will be forced to sell everything. They are in danger, the club is in danger.”
