After solid recruitment last summer, Olympique de Marseille is now in the shoes of a seller this winter. Several players are transferable immediately, including a surprise… Valentin Rongier.
The winter sales do not only concern Lyon, subject to the financial requirements of the DNCG. Olympique de Marseille would also be inspired to earn a few million euros by the end of January. The Marseille club has found a typical team and certain elements have become undesirable on the Canebière. This is particularly the case of Lilian Brassier, much less efficient than in Brest last season. The Marseille defender is not the only player whose salary OM would like to save this winter. The X account At Tribune OM gave some possible sales leads.
Rodier finally transferable?
Unsurprisingly, Elye Wahi will not be accepted if a suitable offer is made. The former Montpellier and Lens striker still cost 25 million euros last summer. An expensive price for a very low return (3 goals in L1). Substitute, he watches his supposed understudy Neal Maupay blend perfectly into De Zerbi’s system. Finally, a third man is likely to be sold and it is much more surprising: Valentin Rongier.
However, the midfielder has been sparkling since his return from injury. With the former Nantes player, OM dominates their opponents in the midfield. But, Rongier is on the radar of former Marseille coach Jorge Sampaoli. The Argentinian would like to bring this trusted man to Rennes. According to At Tribune OMa generous offer from the Bretons will cause Marseille to succumb and could therefore potentially make Rongier leave. A hypothesis that is all the more logical given that the midfielder will only have one year left on his contract next June and that he has not yet extended his lease.
