Posted on 25 December 2021 at 12:30 pm by Arthur Montagne Although OM are currently focusing on the winter transfer window, Pablo Longoria must already plan for the end of the season, at the end of which many purchase options will have to be exercised. Last summer, the Olympique de Marseille hit hard, recruiting no less than 11 players, namely Gerson , Konrad de la Fuente , Leonardo Balerdi , Matteo Guendouzi , Cengiz Under , Pau Lopez , William Saliba , Luan Peres , Pol Lirola , Pedro Ruiz Delgado and Amine Harit . Of these players, five arrived in the form of a loan, three of which include a call option whose condition for it to be lifted is quite simple. This is the case with Cengiz Under , Matteo Guendouzi and Pau Lopez . Therefore, Frank McCourt will have to take out the checkbook at the end of the season, especially since Arkadiusz Milik's loan will also end next June. And for good reason, Pablo Longoria recently revealed in the columns of L'Equipe that “Guendouzi and Ünder are linked to maintenance. Pau Lopez, if he makes 20 appearances. These are virtually automatic options. “In view of the fact that the OM will obviously stay in Ligue 1, Mattéo Guendouzi and Cengiz Ünder will be transferred definitively to OM at the end of the season. This already represents € 19M given the fact that the option to buy Mattéo Guendouzi is set at € 11M and that of Cengiz Ünder at € 8M. The player who belongs to Arsenal Moreover, it was also confirmed at a press conference: “I really intend to register for the long term at OM. I was quickly very comfortable here, I am very happy at OM (…) My purchase option will be exercised automatically if maintained. That's why it was a carefully considered choice, it's not just for this year. I register here for the long term here at OM. “For his part, Pau Lopez has already played 19 matches with OM , and is therefore only one meeting away from seeing his option to buy be lifting. This amounts to € 12 million. Finally, we must not forget Arkadiusz Milik , whose 18-month loan will end at the end of the season. “Operation Milik has always been referred to as a complicated operation. But he is a player who, in the end, will be the property of OM “, explained Pablo Longoria on the subject. And this time, it will be 8M € to pay to Naples . Consequently, the OM will have to pay € 39M next summer. Qualification in the Champions League would therefore be welcome … 
The purchase options will be expensive for OM
