Atlético Madrid striker Antoine Griezmannis regularly associated with the OM transfer window. But the obstacles are multiplying to see the world champion one day join Olympique de Marseille.
Mercato OM: Antoine Griezmann, an inaccessible avenue for Marseille?
Olympique de Marseille, after carrying out ambitious recruitment this summer with the arrival of Adrien Rabiot, continues to make its supporters dream. The names of Paul Pogba and Antoine Griezmann are regularly mentioned in the corridors of the Vélodrome.
But if the arrival of the French midfielder, free since his break with Juventus, seems more realistic, that of Griezmann appears to be a real challenge. Despite the Atlético Madrid striker's affection for OM, the obstacles are numerous.
As journalist Thibaud Vézirian explains, timing is important. The delays in finalizing the OM sale compromise such a transfer. “Griezmann is a fan of OM. But we're going to have to catch him before he leaves Europe.”he declared on his channel Twitch.
A file more complex than it seems
The supporters do not hide their enthusiasm for the possible arrival of Antoine Griezmann at Olympique de Marseille. On RMC Sport, columnist Simon Dutin has made it known that he dreams in particular of a shock trio composed of Adrien Rabiot, Paul Pogba and Grizou. A tempting prospect which could allow OM to compete with PSG and give a boost to Ligue 1.
However, reality is often more complex than dreams. Finances, sporting demands and personal projects of players are all factors that could hinder the completion of such an operation. For the moment, the arrival of Antoine Griezmann in Marseille remains a simple hypothesis, as attractive as it may be.
