Olympique de Marseille (OM) is reportedly scouting two new attackers to fill the offensive void left by the departure of Mason Greenwood, according to reports from Sport.fr and other French media outlets.
Marseille’s Strategic Shift After Mason Greenwood’s Exit
While Greenwood provided a specific threat from the flank, L’Équipe reports that the club views this transition as an opportunity to foster a “new collective life” within the squad. Rather than seeking a direct one-for-one replacement of the same profile, the club is looking at players who can integrate into a more fluid attacking structure.
According to footballclubdemarseille.fr, Lorenzo Lorenzi is working to build the attack around two specific profiles that offer more versatility and tactical discipline, ensuring the team is not overly dependent on individual brilliance to create scoring opportunities.
Targeting the Stade Brestois Connection
Marseille has shown a growing interest in players from Stade Brestois, suggesting a targeted recruitment pipeline from the Brittany-based club. Ouest-France notes that several names from Brest have surfaced in Marseille’s scouting reports, specifically mentioning players like Del Castillo and Magnetti.
Tactical Implications for the OM Front Line
The move to replace Greenwood with a duo of attackers suggests a change in how OM will approach the final third.
Le Phoceen reports that the club is actively searching for a replacement who can provide consistent output without disrupting the team’s defensive balance.
