Holder of a Master’s degree in international law, I realized at the end of my university career that it was important to evolve in a field that you appreciate. Overnight, I decided to put an end to my parents’ dream, who saw in me a future lawyer, to make a living from my passion: sport. Since then, I have covered transfer windows and sports news, trying to keep readers informed as best as possible.
OM is unleashed at the end of June. After announcing an agreement in principle with Roberto De Zerbi, the Marseille club would have moved forward in the Ismaël Koné file. Negotiations are coming to an end and should result in the arrival of the Watford midfielder in Marseille. The player reportedly refused several offers to join De Zerbi’s ranks.
This is undoubtedly the worst kept secret of this start of the transfer window. Roberto De Zerbi should take charge of the OM first team in the coming days. Pablo Longoria is therefore working behind the scenes to offer him a competitive team. According to Fabrizio Romano, Lilian Brassier will be the first recruit and will be followed by‘Ismaël Koné.
