Even without the European Cup, OM was very active this summer. And what a transfer window the Marseille club had! There were 12 recruits who joined Roberto De Zerbi’s squad, also recruited in the off-season. To do this, it was obviously necessary to get out the checkbook and Frank McCourt agreed to reinject money. It must be said that the owner of OM received certain promises from Pablo Longoria.
Mason Greenwood, Elye Wahi, Adrien Rabiot, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg… Here are some of the names that joined OM during the summer transfer window. Players who obviously had a price, both in terms of transfer compensation, but also salary. If the Marseille club managed to part with some of its biggest emoluments, it still has to pay these stars, especially since there is a shortfall with the absence of the European Cup for theOM this season.
Longoria asks McCourt for effort
The effort then came from Frank McCourt. Having already invested heavily in theOMthe American, owner of the Marseille club, has put his hand in his pocket again. An effort demanded by Pablo Longoria according to information from The Team. In fact, he is the president of theOM who would have asked McCourt to reinvest millions of euros in order to achieve this XXL transfer window.
The OM president’s plan
To obtain this from Frank McCourt, Pablo Longoria would then have made certain promises. The president of theOM would have thus presented a new 3-year cycle with a first year in deficit, but large revenues thereafter. Longoria would count on qualification for the Champions League and big transfer gains to allow McCourt to make money. Check back now in a few months to find out if theOM will succeed in qualifying for the most prestigious of competitions and what will be these big sales expected at Marseille…
