The winter transfer window should be fairly calm at OM. On the other hand, next summer will be more lively in the event of qualification for the Champions League and the Marseille club is already preparing for it according to Daniel Riolo.
Winner of Le Havre on Sunday evening at the Vélodrome (5-1), Olympique de Marseille increased its lead over AS Monaco and Lille after this 16th day. An excellent operation from Roberto De Zerbi's men, who are establishing themselves as an increasingly solid runner-up to PSG. This advance should allow Marseille to consider the rest of the events with great serenity according to Daniel Riolo. On RMC, the After Foot columnist went even further. According to him, Marseille leaders can already afford to prepare for next season taking into account the more than likely qualification for the Champions League. Anticipatory work on the part of Pablo Longoria and Medhi Benatia which could well allow the Olympians to achieve a transfer window more ambitious than ever.
“What we note is that it has been several weeks since De Zerbi found the way he is going to align his team. The players, we will often find the same ones because there will not be much rotation with only one match per week. And even when he is missing an important player like Hojbjerg, he does not change his system and leaves Rabiot higher. And after all, since it has been installed there, it has been performing well. OM are playing against Le Havre, I don't doubt for a second that the Marseille club will finish in the Champions League zone. This will allow leaders to already consider what comes next” believes the After Foot journalist before continuing and concluding on this theme.
Daniel Riolo is impatient to follow the OM transfer window
“Being the only team to play only one match should make it possible to solidify this position in the standings and achieve good results. And while things are progressing on the pitch, behind the scenes, the leaders can think about how to strengthen this team, how to play when there are two matches per week, how we will be when we have to face the Champions League. This is an advantage that OM is making the most of. We have to put all of this to good use. The leaders will have to do it behind the scenes, all the lights are green for OM” analyzed Daniel Riolo, very enthusiastic about the progress of Olympique de Marseille and who is waiting with great impatience next summer to see what reinforcements will come to fill the squad at Roberto De Zerbi's disposal.
