In a month, the winter transfer window will open its doors. The opportunity for OM to make some changes to Jorge Sampaoli's squad. The Argentinian seems to be really waiting for this moment, having specific desires to expand his group.
Last February, Frank McCourt breathed new life into his project at OM . For this, Pablo Longoria was promoted to president, while Jorge Sampaoli arrived as coach. A new project that really started this summer on the Canebière. Indeed, the OM took advantage of the transfer window to build a group like Sampaoli . And to meet the Argentinian’s needs, Longoria went out of her way. Having promised a dozen recruits, the Marseille president kept his promise, not hesitating to take out the checkbook to bring in Gerson in particular. This summer, Jorge Sampaoli saw the reinforcements multiply like William Saliba, Pau Lopez, Cengiz Ünder or even Matteo Guendouzi . Enough to allow the Phocéens to be able to play on several tables, but despite these recruits, that does not seem to satisfy Jorge Sampaoli . In recent weeks, the coach of OM had explained that its workforce was still a little short and this Tuesday, at a press conference, he gave it a layer, dropping: “I speak every day with the president and through him also with the owner. We have a new workforce, but limited. We are talking about this possibility of recruiting in the transfer window, but more than my desires, there is the economic reality of the club. The president and the owner know this better than I do. I do my job so that this group is as competitive as possible, after that I am limited ”.
The big central defense site!
As the winter transfer window approaches, Jorge Sampaoli has sent a clear message to Pablo Longoria and Frank McCourt . The OM coach therefore expects reinforcements in January. But who will come to the Canebière? Regarding his recruitment, Sampaoli would have clear ideas. Indeed, according to information released by L’Equipe, the Argentine would like to welcome a new center-back in the coming weeks. If William Saliba, Luan Peres , Duje Caleta-Car, Leonardo Balerdi and Alvaro Gonzalez are currently available, However, this could change in this sector of play. Indeed, while the Argentinian and the Spaniard no longer have a huge playing time at OM with Sampaoli , the Croatian could be transferred to him quickly. If Caleta-Car is playing more and more now, it would not be for nothing since it would be to restore value to the old Salzburg in order to get the most out of it on the occasion of the winter transfer window.
