OM has experienced a busy summer transfer window. The Phocaeans wanted above all to strengthen themselves for the Champions League.
Medhi Benatia was not unemployed this summer during the transfer market. The Moroccan sports director of Olympique de Marseille allowed the Marseille training to strengthen. Roberto de Zerbi has a lot of equipment available even if the future Champions League campaign promises to be difficult in view of OM opponents. Benatia, however, had only successes during the transfer window. The former Bayern Munich had notably targeted two players in particular, who ultimately did not come to the Canebière.
Benatia misses two shots in the transfer window
According to information from Market footballOM had views of Malcom (al-Hilal) and Adam Aznou (Bayern Munich). The former Girondins de Bordeaux was seen as a perfect lining at Mason Greenwood, he who knows the requirements of Ligue 1. As for the Moroccan from Bayern, now who left for Everton, he was considered a bet on the future. Finally, the deals were not possible even if Marseille will undoubtedly keep an attentive eye on the two players. The fact remains that the Phocaeans were able to carry out the desired shopping this summer.
Roberto de Zerbi will quickly have to take mayonnaise, under penalty of continuing to put himself in difficulty in the south of France. Because the situation in Ligue 1 is far from up to expectations at the moment. As a reminder, Olympique de Marseille will start the Champions League with a very complicated trip to the lawn of Real Madrid on September 16. The Phocaean players will have to live up to the event, especially the last elements arrived during the transfer window (Benjamin Pavard, Nayef Aguerd), who have a lot of high level experience to resell.
