One of the first tasks of Jacques-Henri Eyraud when he arrived at the president of Olympique de Marseille was to forge partnerships with all amateur clubs in the Marseille city so that no more talented young people escape. at the big southern club. Because, for example, when Saint-Etienne came to win at the Vélodrome for the first time in 41 years two and a half weeks ago, it was with a kid from the northern districts (Wesley Fofana) and a child from Martigues ( Mahdi Camara).
The RCS expects € 20 million for Simakan
Well, while waiting for these multiple partnerships to bear fruit, OM’s Head of Football, Pablo Longoria, has found a way to bring Marseillais back to OM: to recruit them. According to Téléfoot, it would indeed be decided to recruit Mohamed Simakan, defender of RC Strasbourg born in the Marseille city 20 years ago in the event of Duje Caleta-Car’s vote.
The departure of the Croatian is far from being recorded since he has just refused an offer from West Ham, which nevertheless offered him a large salary. He wants to play in the Champions League, with OM or elsewhere. If a C1 team contacts him by Monday, maybe he will leave. Longoria will then have to convince the Alsatian leaders to cede their nugget to him. As a reminder, they are expecting € 20 million for Simakan.
Info @ telefoot_TF1 If Duje Caleta-Car leaves, Strasbourg defender Mohamed Simakan is one of Olympique de Marseille’s priorities to replace him. #Market #IF
