While the winter transfer window has just opened, OM will primarily seek to sell in order to replenish their funds, but will also wish strengthen, especially in the offensive sector. With this in mind, Pablo Longoria would have targeted two profiles.

The winter transfer window has officially opened and the Olympique de Marseille could be active. It must be said that Jorge Sampaoli did not hide his ambitions. “The winter transfer window helps bring quality to an already built squad. The transfer window is long, it will be a transfer window of opportunity, because we are in a World Cup year and a lot of players need playing time. I hope that we can recruit a player who brings more ” , confided the Argentinian technician at a press conference on Saturday before adding that “my experienced players are those who know the game of possession. I have total confidence in Longoria, I have been meeting with him for some time for the next two mercatos. We need to plan, for players who know this style of play, because it's hard to explain to players who don't know this style of play. ”Still, the OM will probably have to sell before strengthening, but that does not prevent Pablo Longoria to have decided and to prospect on the market, in particular in search of reinforcements in the offensive sector.

Kolo Muani and Castellanos, the two tracks of the OM?

C ' This is how L'Equipe confirms that OM is particularly interested in Randal Kolo Muani who will be leaving FC Nantes free at the end of the season. An interesting track from an economic point of view since there is no transfer fee to pay, but also because the international hopefuls only receives 15,000 € per month for the moment. However, as revealed exclusively by le10sport.com, and confirmed by L'Equipe in its columns, the Eintracht Frankfurt is well ahead in this file which leaves very little chance for the OM .

Therefore, Pablo Longoria explores other avenues like the one leading to Valentin Castellanos ( 23 years). A few days ago, ESPN revealed that OM were in the game to recruit the Argentine striker, top scorer of the last season of MLS. Information confirmed by TyC Sports which adds, however, that New York City FC will claim at least 13M € to release its striker. And here again the competition promises to be tough since Cagliari , Fiorentina , Palmeiras , Feyenoord and West Ham would also be interested in Valentin Castellanos whose contract with the American club runs until June 2025.
