Olympique de Marseille will lose two elements for this African Cup of Nations: Pape Gueye and Bamba Dieng. If the midfielder seems quite populated, this is less the case in the offensive area. At number nine, if we except Dimitri Payet and Gerson, who are midfielders, only the Polish Arkadiusz Milik remains.
Therefore, Pablo Longoria, the president of the Marseille team, begins to reflect on the fact that perhaps there should be added number, size and weight to an area where he missed these three elements during the first six. months of this season. Thus, according to our information, the Marseille club would have obtained information from its Serbian counterparts concerning the situation of Djordje Jovanovic.
It could cost between 4 and 5 million euros
Despite his young age, he will be 23 next February, the 1.85 striker has already traveled a lot. A professional past in his training club, Partizan, he played in Belgium (Lokeren) and Spain (Cadiz, FC Cartagena) before returning this season to his native country (Cukaricki) and finally exploding. Lively, good finisher and excellent leader, he scored 11 goals (third top scorer in the championship) with his formation which is ranked third in Serbia.
To tear him away from his club, it will not be easy. Indeed, several other European clubs are in the ranks and it would be necessary to pay a sum of between 4 and 5 million euros. One thing for the moment impossible since the Marseille recruitment is closely scrutinized by the DNCG. If OM manage to cede elements or Pablo Longoria obtains an extension from Frank McCourt, the club owner, this option will be seriously considered. But we should have something new this winter.
