The winter transfer window should not be too hectic for Olympique de Marseille. Coach Roberto De Zerbi spoke on this subject to journalists.
This Friday, OM organized a press conference before the match against Le Havre. Roberto De Zerbi spoke about the transfer window and the club's recruitment objectives.
“The Mercato? We are professionals, we must give 100%. If there is an agreement with another club, we greet each other and we change. I manage these moments with Benatia and the OM scouting department and by trying to improve the squad. Longoria is attentive to the team's improvement as is McCourt. We have to be smart this winter. We must not do quantity but take the profiles we need”, announced the coach to the press.

Roberto De Zerbi's dry response to Sampaoli
A few hours before the match against HAC this Sunday, Roberto De Zerbi was in front of the press to answer questions. The Italian coach was notably questioned about the rumor sending Valentin Rongier to Rennes. The coach confirms that the player is considered non-transferable.
“Sampaoli will have to look for another player because Valentin Rongier cannot be transferred,” answered by Roberto De Zerbi.
As early as November, upon his arrival at Stade Rennais, Jorge Sampaoli would have started discussions with Valentin Rongier and his entourage for a departure to Brittany. The OM midfielder would not, however, be on the market. This winter, according to RMC, it would not be impossible for the Bretons to come back to recruit him. As a reminder, Sampaoli has just picked up Seko Fofana from Rennes.
