Posted on August 18, 2022 at 02:00 by Arthur Montagne

This summer, OM have been very active, already recruiting several new players. Now, Pablo Longoria wants to sell, and it starts with Bamba Dieng, clearly pushed at the start by the Marseille club which no longer counts on the Senegalese for whom a transfer is expected.

Like last year, Paul Longoria is hyper active on the transfer window. With a new coach, the president of theABOUT tried to meet its expectations with the arrival of eight new players namely Reuben White, Chancel Mbemba, Isaac Toure, Jordan Veretout, Nuno Tavares, Jonathan Clauss, Luis Suarez et Alexis Sanchez. Most Frank McCourt now hope that theABOUT succeed in selling to replenish the club’s coffers. In this context, Bamba Dieng is clearly identified as the main player to sell while only Lucas Perrin (€1.5M, Strasbourg) and Luan Peres (€5m, Fenerbahçe) have been sold so far.

Longoria tries everything to separate from Dieng

And according to information from Florent Germaincorresponding to Marseille for RMC, Paul Longoria really wants to give in Bamba Dieng. « I just think OM want to sell Bamba Dieng and it’s not a question of money or a contract extension. For a year, the management has considered him more as a market value than as a player. It’s normal for the player to be a little offended. Apparently, he doesn’t convince Igor Tudor in training. I think there is still a bit of bluff in this statement. We all know the story when a club wants to part with someone and sometimes we give certain reasons. I don’t take sides neither for OM nor for Dieng, but it’s not a question of money “, he assured Rothen S’enflamme.

OGC Nice wants Dieng

It now remains to find a club likely to welcome Bamba Dieng et Lucien Favré recently opened the door to him: He is a player who takes up space, he goes fast. I know that, like all the young people we have taken on and that we may take… there is work, a lot of work. We will see. We have to find solutions. ” According Mohamed Toubache-Terl’OGC Nice could even draw an offer of 10M€ + bonus for the striker ofABOUT.

Several clubs in the game for a transfer

Other clubs would be interested, like the FC Lorientbut the Hakes do not seem able to complete a transfer of Bamba Dieng. The idea would rather be a loan, which will not suit theABOUT, who is looking to sell his striker. From this perspective, the solution could come from Premier Leaguewhere several formations would be interested.
