OM has no shortage of ambitions since the arrival of Roberto De Zerbi but also Medhi Benatia. The Phocaeans particularly want to do good business. And one of them could well be on the LOSC side.
OM hopes to finish the season in the best possible way and play the leading roles in Ligue 1. To do this, Roberto De Zerbi knows that there is still a long way to go and that he will have to be able to count on a complete and up-to-date squad. Reason why some adjustments should take place this winter during the transfer window. Also, next summer, the Italian will want to be able to compete with the best clubs on 0 euro files. Medhi Benatia is already at work to charm certain quality players, like Jonathan David, who is not keen on the idea of extending his term at LOSC.
David, all the leaders of OM validate
According to information from journalist Loïc Jego on his channel YouTubeOM is indeed working seriously on the arrival of the Canadian, looking for a new challenge: “It was a rumor that seemed anything but credible last summer. We're talking about Jonathan David. He is in his last year of contract. He had been approached by OM by the Benatia-Longoria duo. It is still mentioned among the serious tracks for next summer. He will be available on a free transfer, this represents a golden opportunity for OM. His profile had been validated by De Zerbi. This is the ideal 9. He scores 25 or 30 goals per season. He responds to major European matches and performs well with Canada. He picks up and runs for miles. David rarely gets injured too and those are plenty of positives. Can the atmosphere of the Vélodrome improve it? In Lille, he is in a family club. He had some slumps and in Marseille, the environment is complicated. If he arrives at OM, he would be a starter and the star striker. OM will have no trouble giving him a nice signing bonus. OM has its chances ». Note that David could also be convinced by the Lille offer, namely a one-year extension if LOSC manages to qualify for the next Champions League. The battle has undoubtedly only just begun for the Canadian striker, who is said to be very greedy in terms of salary and signing bonus.
