Posted on November 15, 2021 at 3:15 am by AM Determined to sell this summer, OM has mainly completed loans with purchase options for its unwanted people. But most of them are likely to come back. This summer, OM achieved a huge recruitment completed with the arrival of 11 players namely Gerson , Konrad de la Fuente , Leonardo Balerdi , Matteo Guendouzi , Cengiz Under , Pau Lopez , William Saliba , Luan Peres , Pol Lirola , Pedro Ruiz Delgado and Amine Harit . To compensate for these arrivals, Pablo Longoria tried to sell in order to replenish the coffers of OM . However, given the market, the Marseille club had to settle for the most part with loans with option to buy. This is how Nemanja Radonjic (Benfica), Dario Benedetto (Elche) and Lucas Perrin (Strasbourg) are on loan until the end of the season with the hope for the OM to recover a few million euros next June. However , not everything goes as planned. And for good reason, none of his three players has really won in his new club. Dario Benedetto is the one who is doing the best, without however being indisputable holder. Not to mention that Elche , who is fighting to stay in Liga , will have a hard time raising the € 6 million corresponding to the option to buy the Argentinian. For Nemanja Radonjic , the situation is worse since Jorge Jesus does not seem to be counting on the Serbian international. And knowing that his purchase option, estimated at 8M €, depends on the number of matches he will play, there is a good chance of seeing him return to OM at the end of the season. Regarding Lucas Perrin , he alternates the good and the less good under the orders of Julien Stéphan , and the exercise of his purchase option of 1.5M € is uncertain. In other words, Pablo Longoria could therefore sit on 13.5M €, without counting on the return of Kevin Strootman whose loan to Cagliari could be broken this winter according to La Gazzetta dello Sport. 
The call options are unlikely to be exercised …
