With the signing of Roberto De Zerbi, Olympique de Marseille invested heavily in the transfer window with more than ten recruits arriving. And this particularly concerned the attack, since it was once again necessary to recruit to compensate in particular for the departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to the Saudi club Al-Qadsiah.
While everyone expected a gloomy summer in Marseille after a catastrophic season, which ended in no qualification for a European competition. However, it only took one signature for the sun to return, since the arrival of Roberto DeZerbi coming from Brighton totally revived the craze around theABOUT.
The attackers follow one another at OM…
And this was seen in the transfer window, since theABOUT completely changed its squad to offer its new coach the players he wanted. And as is often the case, things moved in attack! Because a year later Alexis SanchezIt is Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who left the club, pushing Pablo Longoria to find a replacement for him. They are finally Neal Maupay et Elye Wahi who landed this summer for a total exceeding €30M, without forgetting Faris Moumbagna who remained at the club, but quickly got injured and was out for the rest of the season.
But none impose themselves!
But here we are only a few months after the arrivals of the two attackers… and we are already talking about a ABOUT who would look for new reinforcements. Because between them, Place et Maupay have only scored 4 goals in all competitions! And some may think that history repeats itself, since since the departure ofAndré-Pierre Gignac in 2015, no number 9 of international stature won in Marseille. Speculation in recent days suggests that this curse could continue, unless a player finally arrives to bring everyone together after years of scarcity.
