OM attacks Santiago Gimenez!

For several seasons, OM has been looking for this great striker who will be able to impose himself on Canebière for many years. In addition to the successful experience of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang last season, this permanent quest did not have the expected result this summer. Despite Neal Maupay’s good season, Elye Wahi’s debut in Marseille is not really up to par. Recruited for 25 million euros after a complicated year in Lens, the 21-year-old striker is struggling to convince with the residents of the Vélodrome, with whom he has 4 small goals in 13 matches. A starving performance which inevitably pushes Olympian leaders to gauge the feasibility of a sale this winter.

And as we explained to you exclusively this Monday, a total agreement has almost been reached for Elye Wahi at Eintracht Frankfurt, where the native of Courcouronnes will become the replacement for Omar Marmoush, leaving for Manchester City. To replace Wahi, Olympian leaders began looking in all directions. This Tuesday morning, our colleagues from The Team explained that the leads leading to Marcus Rashford and Mathys Tel were being explored. Two complicated targets to dislodge for sporting reasons for the Bavarian and financial reasons for the Mancunian.

Santiago Gimenez stacks goals with Feyenoord

According to our information, the Marseille board is indeed working on an arrival on loan for the English striker but this file remains thorny with fierce competition. At the same time, Marseille is advancing its pawns with another attacker: Santiago Gimenez. According to our indiscretions and as also indicated RMC Sportthe alternative leading to the Mexican striker is well and truly studied in the eyes of the Marseille leaders, who would strike a major blow by attracting the executioner from the Feyenoord Rotterdam surfaces.

For several seasons, the 23-year-old striker has been stacking goals in the Netherlands and is often linked to big clubs who wish to enlist him to solve their problems in front of goal. During this 2024-2025 vintage, the Mexican international is still just as lethal with 13 goals in 17 matches in all competitions. Valued at more than €40 million and under contract until 2027 with the Batavian team, the native of Buenos Aires could nevertheless be difficult to dislodge this winter. It remains to be seen whether Marseille will find the resources to convince the player, but especially Feyenoord.
