OM intends to strike hard on the transfer market with the arrival of Roberto De Zerbi. But who says arrivals also says departures in order to relieve Marseille’s finances.
On the Marseille side, we can’t wait to find out more about the new project around Roberto De Zerbi. The Italian coach has an idea in mind of what he wants for his team. But it will also depend on the budget that will be given to strengthen OM. Good news nevertheless, the fact that certain undesirables are arousing the interest of teams… in Saudi Arabia. The Middle Eastern country loves Marseille players and even wants to enlist a few in the coming days. A boon for Olympique de Marseille and its finances, even if all this was well thought out in advance.
OM and Saudi Arabia, a lucrative business begins
In the last few hours, The Phocaean indicates that for several months now, OM has established new strong ties with Saudi Arabia. The recent arrival of Medhi Benatia is also moving in this direction. The recent transfer of Renan Lodi to the Saudi Pro League went very well and the negotiations were smooth. Azzedine Ounahi and Chancel Mbemba could also have left for Saudi Arabia. But that could be postponed. The media claims that the two players are still popular with the Saudis, as are Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Ismaïla Sarr and now Geoffrey Kondogbia. Enough to improve OM’s finances if it goes through and allow, in the event of good sales, some madness this summer on the transfer market. If the Marseille club will most likely not be bought by Saudi Arabia, to the great displeasure of some…, it can nevertheless reassure itself by developing strong links with the Arab country, with which a business could flourish over the months and greatly help out Pablo Longoria.
