Longoria and McCourt jubilant, €16M miracle in Marseille!

It must be admitted, Frank McCourt and especially Pablo Longoria were in trouble when discussing certain rather strange operations at the Olympique de Marseille.

But let it be said, Roberto De Zerbi has already accomplished some miracles at OM and will, despite himself, have been able to sublimate certain players who were not really expected to reach such a level.

For proof, look at the immense progress experienced by Luis Henrique with OM. Recruited for around €8M by Pablo Longoria and Frank McCourt, the 23-year-old Brazilian winger took time to explode.

His loan to Botafogo will have made him grow, and the latter has now gone from flop to future star since he is now at the doors of the Seleção. Pablo Longoria also had a hollow nose when he refused good offers from Parma and Zenit Saint Petersburg during the last transfer window to keep him at OM, where he quickly seduced Roberto De Zerbi.

Whether he is a left winger or a right winger, no matter where Olympique Marseille uses him, Luis Henrique works miracles and has already totaled 6 goals as well as 4 assists in Ligue 1 this season. An exemplary player also in terms of attitude on and off the football pitch, and who has seen his value rise to €16M! And again, this is only the beginning… Yes, Frank McCourt can rub his hands!
