Olympique de Marseille must slim down its squad to be able to continue to strengthen the squad available to coach Igor Tudor. With this idea in mind, the Phoenician president Pablo Longoria should settle several issues in the days to come.
Pablo Longoria will have to find solutions.
Like last year, the president of Olympique de Marseille Pablo Longoria is leading a real project to build a workforce adapted to the needs of Igor Tudor. With the arrival of left piston Nuno Tavares this Saturday, the Marseille club has already registered 7 recruits in this summer transfer window.
But of course, OM will also have to clean up their current group. After the departures of Steve Mandanda, Nemanja Radonjic, Luis Henrique and recently Luan Peres, other moves are expected.
Gonzalez terminated soon, Amavi discarded!
And according to the daily L’Equipe this Saturday, the central defender Alvaro Gonzalez will soon take the door. Dismissed since last March, the Spaniard will soon terminate his contract, which ran until June 2024. If OM hoped to find a formation interested in a transfer, the suitors of the former Villarreal player preferred to wait to recover him without any compensation.
Meanwhile, another player has joined Kevin Strootman as an undesirable element: Jordan Amavi. According to information from the FC Marseille media, then confirmed by the regional daily La Provence, the former Aston Villa player was dismissed by the Croatian technician and has been training on the sidelines of the group, like the Dutchman, since returning from the training camp. in England. A clear way to show him the exit on this transfer window.
From the Source will you see a prt?
Offensively, Longoria must also clean up. If Bamba Dieng, pushed out because of his market value, refuses to leave, another young talent could be transferred: winger Konrad de la Fuente. At the end of a complicated first season due to a knee injury, the American international is heading for a loan, according to information from journalist Matteo Moretto.
To recover it, Valladolid, promoted to La Liga, is the big favorite, even if the former FC Barcelona player is also attracting interest from Anderlecht, Burnley, Sassuolo and Sampdoria. It remains to be seen whether OM intends to include a purchase option in this deal for De la Fuente, bought for 3 million euros last year. In any case, without even talking about the Duje Caleta-Car file, the Marseille club will still be livening up the next few weeks!
