After Nice and West Ham, Olympique de Marseille invites itself into the Terem Moffi case. The Marseille management has already spoken orally about an offer with Lorient. She also thinks about the departure of Bamba Dieng.
Looking for a second attacking reinforcement after the recruitment of Ruslan Malinovskyi, Olympique de Marseille wanted to recruit a player capable of evolving behind the leading striker. But the Marseille club may have changed its tune. This Monday, L’Equipe announces that Marseille president Pablo Longoria and his football director Javier Ribalta are working on the Terem Moffi (23) option!
OM are ready to pay €20m!
The Nigerian international is coming off a very good first half of the season with Lorient (12 goals in 18 Ligue 1 games). He is a centre-forward profile but his recruitment would allow OM to bring Alexis Sanchez down a notch to move him into a position he prefers. The Chilean has not hidden until recently that it was difficult for him to play at the forefront of the Marseille attack.
The option is attractive, but also expensive. Remember that Nice has already made three offers for the Lorient striker, the last of which is estimated at 20 million euros (including 3 million euros in bonuses). An amount which does not seem to cool the Marseille leaders since the sports daily specifies that OM orally mentioned an offer to Lorient which would align with the Nioise proposal. The Marseille management also discusses with the entourage of the player, who sees himself rather staying in France in the event of departure despite the interest of West Ham in England.
Dieng (again) pushed out?
Still according to the same source, this transfer could be accompanied by the departure of Bamba Dieng (22). If his state of mind had seduced the club after the episode of his false start last summer, the Senegalese international striker has been disappointing for several weeks and his bad start against Rennes (1-0), Friday in the Coupe de France , strongly annoyed his trainer Igor Tudor. And relaunch the idea of a sale in the minds of the Marseille management…
Moffi, a good idea for OM? Do not hesitate to react and discuss in the area add a comment …
