OM Mercato: Emerson Palmieri Joins Marseille from West Ham

An agreement concluded with West Ham

Olympique de Marseille has found common ground with West Ham for the transfer ofEmerson Palmieri. The London club gave its green light to let its left side spin towards Provence. The operation amounts to around 1 million euros, bonus included, a particularly low amount for an experienced player still recently playing in the Premier League.

A reinforcement wanted by the Marseille management

This file had been activated for a long time by Pablo Longoria and his entourage. The arrival of the Italian-Brazilian defender corresponds to the wishes of Medhi Benatia and ROBERTO DE ZERBIeager to strengthen the left corridor. Emerson brings a different profile, with a notable European experience and an ability to evolve in various systems.

A list that speaks for him

Aged 31, Emerson Palmieri won Euro 2021 with Italy, as well as a Europa League and a Champions League with Chelsea. Trained in Brazil, he also experienced significant passages in Serie A before winning in England. Its versatility and regularity make it a precious asset for the Marseille group.

A nice financial blow for OM

The reduced cost of this operation is an excellent deal for Marseille, which secures a reinforcement of experience for a ridiculous price. In a market where the side are often negotiated very expensive, the Olympian management has been able to take advantage of an opportunity. It remains to be seen how to Zerbi will integrate Emerson into his game scheme, while the club still continues its maneuvers on the summer market.
