Pablo Longoria will have a lot to do during the month of January, with several players leaving, but also needs for Jorge Sampaoli.
At the end of the last summer transfer window, Jorge Sampaoli did not seem satisfied with the recruitment made by Pablo Longoria. However, the latter has attracted more than ten recruits, some of whom have asserted themselves at Olympique de Marseille. In the columns of L’Équipe, Longoria however, opened the door to other arrivals during the winter transfer window … but also sales! “By January, I have to find the economic resources to improve the workforce, with the assets I have on the team. It can mean selling players and using the money wisely, ”Longoria explained. “I consider that a lot has already been improved last summer, but there is still work to be done. The team are young, they can lack leadership in different positions in some important matches. We have a very clear strategy, a workforce of 21 versatile players. Instead, we've been looking for different profiles over the past few months in this winter transfer window. In the event of the exit of different players, we want to have spare possibilities ”. Luckily, there are several players who could take fresh money to OM .
Winter promises to be very hot for Longoria
This Tuesday, La Provence obviously evokes the situation of Jordan Amavi. Very little used by Jorge Sampaoli this season, while he is the only true left-back for Olympique de Marseille , a departure seems to have become inevitable for him. It remains to be seen which club will want to invest in a 27-year-old, who has only played 130 minutes since last August. The situation is totally different for Luis Henrique. Arriving at OM to play attacking, he hardly ever moved up the axis, as Sampaoli confined him to a lane job on the left. At only 19 years old, he could arouse a lot of envy, with La Provence which evokes a possible loan during the winter transfer window. We should also not forget Boubacar Kamara, whose contract ends next June and who does not seem at all ready to extend with his training club OM . Young and talented, he seems to be popular abroad and especially in Italy with Juventus and AC Milan . Who is going to want to spend a transfer fee on a player who will be free in just a few months, though?
