The announced arrival of Roberto de Zerbi gave wings to OM in the transfer window. The Marseille club sets no limits in its recruitment. Thus, Mohamed Amoura is still coveted despite a high price and strong competition.
Without the European Cup, the party remains crazy at OM. The Phocaeans are unleashed in the transfer window. While Lilian Brassier should soon be arriving, OM continues to be active in recruitment. With Roberto de Zerbi soon on the bench, the Olympians have become ambitious again. In the offensive sector, they remain attentive to the case of Algerian international Mohamed Amoura. The 24-year-old striker is coming off a big season with Belgian club Union Saint-Gilloise. Arriving last summer in Belgium, he scored 23 goals for the recent second place in the Belgian championship. A success which gave him a certain notoriety in Europe.
OM still on the lookout for Amoura
Indeed, in addition to OM, Amoura has many suitors in England, Germany but also in France with OL. The Marseillais are not favorites in the file. A transfer of the Algerian should be done for at least 20 million euros minimum this summer. Then, OM is not qualified for Europe, which is an economic and sporting obstacle. Above all, Brighton is well ahead of other clubs on the old continent. The English club has the same owner as Union Saint-Gilloise and Brighton has priority in the takeover of Mohamed Amoura.
We will now see if OM can turn things around, perhaps counting on its very special atmosphere to seduce the player. This has already worked with former Brighton coach Roberto de Zerbi who preferred to join Marseille than Bayern Munich for example.
