OM is doing everything to sell a central defender, and attack a hot new issue. Pablo Longoria is keen to sign Olivier Boscagli, and it’s mutual.
Looking for several central defenders, OM will not stop at the simple signing of Luiz Felipe. The idea now is to get rid of Bamo Méité and Lilian Brasser, and even Chancel Mbemba even if that seems impossible. At the first start, Pablo Longoria will work hard to find a central player for Roberto De Zerbi. The president of OM necessarily has targets already in sight, and in particular Olivier Boscagli. Last summer, the Provençal club already targeted the central defender who is showing off with PSV Eindhoven. Especially in the Champions League. Especially since the former Nice player is at the end of his contract next June, and will therefore be free to choose his club without costing a single euro.
Boscagli very tempted by OM
But Marseille does not particularly want to wait, says the La Tribune OM account, and the desire to bring in the left-handed center is good for this month of January, despite strong competition in Europe and its market value which remains strong despite of his contract ending soon. Especially since PSV Eindhoven will only take into account a good offer for a player on whom they are still counting this season. This could force OM to put 8 million euros on the table for a free player in a few months. A big positive point, however, which could facilitate such an arrival, Olivier Boscagli wants to join Marseille. He does not intend to go to the clash to sign there, but the prospect of returning to Ligue 1 in a very ambitious club and with a Roberto De Zerbi who wants it, interests him a lot.
