Passing through Marseille a few weeks ago, Frank McCourt took the opportunity to send a clear message to Pablo Longoria about the winter transfer window. OM will have to sell during the month of January.
The winter transfer window will open its doors on January 1 and the OM will be eagerly awaited given that the Marseillais were very active last summer, completing a total of 11 operations, namely those concerning Gerson , Konrad de la Fuente , Leonardo Balerdi , Matteo Guendouzi , Cengiz Under , Pau Lopez , William Saliba , Luan Peres , Pol Lirola , Pedro Ruiz Delgado and < strong> Amine Harit . And after such a recruitment, the OM will however have to replenish its coffers and Frank McCourt informed Pablo Longoria as explained by the journalist of RMC Florent Germain . “If OM will have the means to recruit? It will be necessary to sell before. Selling is OM's priority. You have to remember some basics, that is, OM is monitored by the DNCG. (…) By the way, I'll give you a little info. Frank McCourt and Pablo Longoria really talked about this a few days ago when the American shareholder was still in Marseille. And Frank McCourt told Pablo Longoria again that it will be necessary to sell to relieve the club's finances, before considering some rookies, “he told the After Foot microphone.
McCourt expects sales
With this in mind, several players are on the start, starting with Duje Caleta-Car. Indeed, according to information from RMC Sport, although the Croatian international has returned to the plans of Jorge Sampaoli , the OM will not oppose his departure in the event of a good offer during the month of January. And that just might be the case as several Premier League clubs are said to still be on the prowl. And that's not all since Pablo Longoria could also consider selling Boubacar Kamara as of this winter in order not to take the risk of seeing him slip away at the end of the season. Jordan Amavi , who is no longer in the plans of Jorge Sampaoli will also be pushed at the start, just a few months after having extended his contract until June 2025. It will also be necessary to monitor the situation of Steve Mandanda who lost his starting position in favor of Pau Lopez and who could therefore claim a departure this winter. Finally, two attackers could also be sold namely Luis Henrique and Konrad de la Fuente which would be available in the form of a loan. In other words, things should move this winter at OM .
