The upcoming arrival of Roberto De Zerbi at OM will change a lot of things for the Marseille club’s ambitions on the transfer market. A big transfer could even be concluded.
OM are off to a strong start in their summer transfer market. The Marseille club made a good sale with the departure of Vitinha to Genoa. Other players should also follow, such as Samuel Gigot, Illiman N’Diaye and Jonathan Clauss. In terms of arrivals, how can we not talk about that of Roberto De Zerbi? The Italian will arrive in Marseille with great ambitions and a clear project in mind. In particular, he wants players who can adapt perfectly to his game ideas. And he already likes a few profiles. One of them is in England…
A first big blow for De Zerbi’s OM?
According to information from Sky Italia via Gianluca Di Marzio, OM is fully in the file leading to young Yankuba Minteh. Loaned last season to Feyenoord, with whom he scored 10 goals and 7 assists in 27 games, the 19-year-old Gambian still belongs to Newcastle. And the Magpies do not want to let their crack player leave without asking for a large sum, especially since the club must sell to meet the demands of financial fair play. To let go of Minteh, Newcastle wants to recover 30 million euros. A high sum for OM, which could request a new loan. Note that the right winger is not only of interest to the Phocaeans since Roma and Everton are also in the game. Roberto De Zerbi will have to have the right arguments to attract the player, just like the Marseille management. In Marseille, the summer promises to be hot and there will be many upheavals. But fans and observers of Olympique de Marseille are starting to get used to that.
