While OM have finally formalized the appointment of Roberto De Zerbi, Pablo Longoria will be able to make concrete progress to strengthen his squad. And in order to satisfy its new coach, the Marseille club is doing everything possible to have a large budget by making very good sales which bring in big money for OM, which has never been Pablo Longoria’s strong point. .
Accustomed to strengthening significantly before finding themselves in a hurry to sell their undesirables at the very end of the transfer window, theABOUT proceeds differently this summer. Frank McCourt always asked Pablo Longoria to replenish the coffers through player sales, before recruiting. What the president of theABOUT has not always succeeded in doing so.

Jordan Veretoutcoveted by Al-Duhailcould also leave theABOUTand in his case, it is mainly to reduce the payroll that a sale is being studied. Other departures are being studied, but theABOUT has already completed a very important operation by definitively transferring Vitinha au Genoa for around €20M, bonus included.
Pope Gueye, the only downside
A very good operation considering the difficulties of Vitinha who also thanked the Marseillais after his departure: “ It’s time to say goodbye. It was an honor to wear this historic jersey and give my best for the club. Even if everything didn’t go as I had dreamed, I leave with valuable learnings and unforgettable memories. The passion you show for the club is inspiring and has always made me want to give my all on the pitch. » On the other hand, there is a departure which does not delight theABOUTthat of Pope Gueye who leaves free even though he had a good market value. “ People of Marseille, four years ago, I arrived young from Ligue 2 with stars in my eyes to discover Olympique de Marseille. You accepted me right away. I lived my first minutes in the French elite alongside you and realized my childhood dream by participating in the Champions League. Yes, there were complicated moments, but your unfailing support, especially at the Vélodrome, will leave me with unforgettable memories. », assures the Senegalese midfielder. However, once is not customary, theABOUT can largely be satisfied with its sales which began very early in the transfer window, and which already bring in almost €50M.
