Lacking playing time under Roberto De Zerbi, several OM stars are considering leaving the Marseille club.
Olympique is off to a promising start this season. Despite its last two mixed performances, the Olympian club is still 3e of Ligue 1 with his 14 points. A fact to the credit of Roberto De Zerbi who changed the face of the team this season. But if the Italian technician relies on his numerous summer recruits, he obviously does not need the club’s young people at the moment. The latter also no longer want to be patient and have made a radical decision.
OM young people annoyed by the treatment of Roberto De Zerbi
12 is the number of players recruited by OM this summer. We can cite, among others, Mason Greenwood, Pierre-Emile-Hojbjerg, Elye Wahi, Neal Maupay, Geronimo Rulli and Adrien Rabiot. At the same time, the club has not forgotten its training center and has even promoted several young people to the first team.
These include players like Enzo Sternal (17 years old), Darryl Bakola (16 years old), Gaël Lafont (18 years old), Keyliane Abdallah (18 years old) and Yanis Sellami (17 years old). Problem is, these are not used at all by Roberto De Zerbi.

The nuggets of OM loaned this winter?
After 7 days of Ligue 1, only two Marseille gems (Enzo Sternal and Keyliane Abdallah) appeared in the first team. Coming into play during the first day against Brest (1-5 victory), the two players only played 13 minutes of play. Furthermore, the fact that the latter were held back until the last minute by Roberto De Zerbi did not allow them no playing with the U19s in reserve.
A situation that relatives of some of its young people have even complained to La Provence. But if Olympique de Marseille tried to calm things down, the nuggets in question have clearly already decided on their future. According to the same newspaper, several of them are thinking of being loaned out during the winter transfer window in order to gain playing time. The winter is therefore likely to be hectic for the nuggets of OM.
