Olympique de Marseille has been working for several weeks on the outlines of its summer transfer window. Several priority targets have been identified and validated recently by Sampaoli. Mohamed Ali Cho is one of these priorities. But OM is not alone on this issue.
By finishing second in the championship, Olympique de Marseille validated its ticket for the next Champions League. The Marseille leaders thus have more comfortable room for maneuver to work on the summer transfer window. Pablo Longoria has been working on recruitment for several months and has clearly identified priority targets.
In the columns of the Provence newspaper this Friday, we can thus read that the SCO Angers striker is one of the absolute priorities of the president of OM in attack. During a meeting with Sampaoli earlier this week, this choice would have been validated by the latter.

However, OM is not alone on this issue. A few days ago, OM seemed on the verge of signing their first recruit in the person of Mohamed Ali-Cho, a young nugget from Angevin with whom everything seemed to be closed. Pablo Longoria had reached an agreement with Ligue 1 resident Uber Eats and a deal seemed close with the player. A few days ago, however, the situation seemed to have changed. The native of Stains would now be closer to a La Liga club than staying in Ligue 1.

Angers wants a cash payment and Ali Cho a big salary?
Selon FootMercato, “The clubs agree on the amount of the transfer (€12 million), but not on the staggering of payments. The SCO wants a cash payment, while Marseille wants to pay in installments. » In addition, the 18-year-old Franco-Moroccan striker would be very greedy in salary, Pablo Longoria would not be ready to accede to the player’s demands.
