Pablo Longoria will activate in January.
It’s no secret that Olympique de Marseille are in a difficult financial situation. For several months, the phocen club has thus been supervised, concerning its payroll and its movements, by the National Management Control Department.
As the winter transfer window approaches in January, Marseille President Pablo Longoria will therefore have to have a sense of responsibility.
Kamara and Caleta-Car, two departures always desired
According to information from the daily L’Equipe on Thursday, OM’s priority will be to sell several players during this transfer period. As last summer, defenders Boubacar Kamara, followed by AS Roma, and Duje Caleta-Car, pistol by several English clubs, are the two strong candidates for sales. For the Frenchman, this is the last opportunity to sell him before his probable free departure at the end of his contract, next June. Regarding the Croatian, Marseille wants to get rid of his imposing salary by collecting a nice check, estimated at more than 12 million euros.
While the two men had refused to leave last August, Longoria is hoping for a different outcome this time around. Besides Kamara and Caleta-Car, the Spaniard will also look for an opportunity for left side Jordan Amavi, too little used by trainer Jorge Sampaoli and clearly pushed towards the exit. What about the other players? As usual, Longoria will be open to all proposals. However, the Ibre did not plan other departures, despite rumors around goalkeeper Steve Mandanda, defender Alvaro Gonzalez or winger Luis Henrique.
Longoria listens to Sampaoli
If the expected sales are confirmed, the boss of OM then intends to get into action in the direction of arrivals. Unsurprisingly, Longoria has heard Sampaoli’s demands and wishes to be able to meet his needs. While waiting to have sufficient liquidity, profiles have already been targeted with 4 recruits envisaged: a central defender (according to the departures), a lining for left Luan Peres, a left winger and a scorer to compete with Arkadiusz Milik. A big project in perspective!
