Foot – Market – OM
During a video interview with owner Frank McCourt and president Jacques-Henri Eyraud, André Villas-Boas would have set his summer priorities for OM leaders and full reports on four players would be expected.
He was close to the start, but he stayed on thanks to Steve Mandanda, in the Marseille wardrobe and the supporters. After choosing the direction ofIF to thank Andoni Zubizareta in mid-may in his post as sports director, André Villas-Boas weighed the pros and cons before making the decision to go after his current contract until June 2021 with theIF. For the first participation ofIF in the Champions League for seven years, Villas–Boas would not however like to take part in C1 by making simple figuration. To do this, and although OM is in the grip of serious financial difficulties, the Portuguese coach would wait for reinforcements, more or less affordable for the Marseille club.
Cuisance, Gueye … Villas-Boas has clear ideas
Indeed, this Saturday, The team confirmed André Villas-Boas’ interests for Michaël Cuisance and for Pape Gueye. Regarding the player of the Bayern Munich, a loan would be the preferred option. Regarding the player of the Havre who signed a contract with Watford who would not be up to standard according to his clan, the nature of this operation would be awaiting the decision of the jurists.

Besides the tracks Cooking and Gueye, the recruitment unit ofIF would have been responsible for submitting a full report on two other players in the people ofEnzo Le Fée, middle of Lorient, and of Mathieu Goncalves, left side of Toulouse FC. André Villas–Boas has visibly planned to strengthen the workforce of theIF this summer by doing with the means at hand. The Marseille club should still degrease the Marseille group this summer in order to replenish its boxes. Recruitment of contract-free players, which would potentially be Pope Gueye, and loans like Michaël Cooking, would allow theIF to limit costs and not increase its deficit already above € 200 million before the Covid-19. It remains to be seen whether the Marseille club will be clever enough on the market which promises to be new given the current economic reality …
