Loaned to OM last season, Pol Lirola returned to La Canebière this summer. A priority in the eyes of the Spaniard.
After selling Bouna Sarr to Bayern Munich and encountering a failure with Joakim Maelhe , OM had to wait until last January to find a right-back. Pablo Longoria then went to dig at Fiorentina to bring in Pol Lirola . A choice that paid off as the Spaniard immediately won, ahead of one of the essential players in 's patternJorge Sampaoli . Lirola was only on loan, however, and this summer it was necessary to negotiate with Viola for a final transfer. If Longoria got it right, it’s also thanks to the Spain full-back.
OM as a priority!
Today, Pol Lirola is a full OM player. Pablo Longoria managed to reach an agreement with Fiorentina for a permanent transfer, but that it will have been long. Throughout the summer, the soap opera Lirola kept Marseille fans going, although in the Spaniard’s mind there was no doubt. As La Provence explains, the 24-year-old was obsessed with the idea of returning to OM and for that, he even alienated the leaders of the Fiorentina . The showdown will therefore have been long, but it ended up paying off since Pol Lirola has indeed returned to the Canebière.
