It has almost become a trademark of OM to raid the market for players without a contract. After Alexis Sanchez in 2022, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang the following year, then Adrien Rabiot this summer, who's next? There is currently very much talk about Paul Pogba, who has agreed to his imminent break with Juventus.
To better understand the market for soon-to-be free players, we have drawn up an entire team of footballers in this situation. With profiles as much as possible in line with OM, its ambitions and its public are both demanding, but also protective for those who wear the club jersey and respect it.
Many ex-OM players are at the end of their contracts in June 2025
This is why we included several former players, in the eleven or on the bench, like Florian Thauvin, who regularly proclaims his love for the club in each of his media outings. In the middle is also André-Frank Zambo Anguissa, the one mocked by many for the amount of his transfer from OM to Fulham, before proving that he was worthy of the investment. Today at Napoli, he is a particularly popular profile this summer.
With Anguissa, we would have liked to add the Dane Christian Eriksen, who will leave Manchester United. If only to imagine associating him with Pierre-Emile Højbjerg. Except that since his heart accident during Euro football, Eriksen has worn a pacemaker which the practice of professional football prohibits in France. Failing that, it is another former Olympique de Marseille, Mario Lémina, who occupies the position.
For two big blows which would be likely to set the volcanic Vélodrome ablaze, Jonathan David at the forefront and Paulo Dybala on one side. The first, because there are rumors associated with OM about him, although completely unfounded. The other because he has football and his fervent adoration. But again, it's better not to dream too much…
