Looking for new opportunities on the right flank of its attack, Olympique de Marseille have set their sights on Tyler Dibling. At 18, he saw his market value skyrocket.
Despite a fantastic 2024 summer transfer window, Olympique de Marseille has a certain number of shortcomings in its squad. The weaknesses of the squad were targeted by Roberto De Zerbi and the Longoria-Benatia tandem. The strong protagonists of the Marseille club will therefore seek to fill needs in the winter transfer window. During his last press conference, the president of OM mentioned the fact that he was going to focus on recruitment during the next transfer window to rebalance the workforce. In need on the right flank of its attack, the Marseille club could look into the interesting situation of young Tyler Dibling.
The Dibling phenomenon at OM?
According to information from the British journalist Graeme BaileyOlympique de Marseille would have expressed their interest in the talent of Southampton. Only 18 years old and with a rating that is only growing (22 million euros at present, according to Transfermarkt), the Exeter native has had an impressive first half of the season in the Premier League. Author of some excellent matches this season, he is however caught up by his own youth.
Regardless, his talent is matched only by the intensity he puts into each match he plays. Having become an essential part of Russell Martin’s training – before the latter was dismissed -, Tyler Dibling is however the subject of strong interest from fierce competitors for OM. Manchester United and Chelsea were both mentioned recently and would be attentive to the situation of the British crack player. So, real interest or simple utopia on the part of Marseille leaders? In any case, it will certainly be necessary to sell before buying, as Pablo Longoria reminded us.
