Criticized for several months, Pablo Longoria is making a real comeback. As evidenced by the negotiations carried out on the England side for Iliman Ndiaye. The OM boss was exceptional…
Pablo Longoria has been receiving harsh and regular criticism for a year. Since OM has been navigating a certain instability with four coaches in less than a year. A turnover which did not prevent OM from playing in a semi-final of the European Cup and limiting the damage in Ligue 1 after a really complicated winter under the Gattuso era. And the least we can say is that Longoria is getting back to health this summer.
The Ndiaye file, a masterclass
By signing Roberto De Zerbi, OM achieved an extraordinary coup. The Italian technician is one of the most highly rated technicians of the moment, Pablo Longoria has achieved a masterstroke. And on the transfer market, the Spaniard has also shown his talent. In the Iliman Ndiaye case, he folded the negotiations… Estimated at 15 million euros by Transfermarkt, the Marseillais joins Everton for a little more than 20 million euros!
More expensive than its purchase price
After a very average season, Iliman Ndiaye has seen his value take a hit in recent months. Pablo Longoria achieves a tour de force by selling it for more than its 2023 purchase price, 17 million euros. A fixed amount of 18.5 million euros with 2 million euros more in bonuses. OM is doing very, very well. Thanks to Maestro Pablo Longoria.
