Posted on 25 December 2021 at 5.30 p.m. by TM During the previous winter transfer window, Pablo Longoria surprised everyone by completing an unexpected operation with Juventus. So, while Marley Aké had left La Canebière for the Old Lady, Franco Tongya had gone the other way. However, so far the Italian has never played for the OM first team. What raise questions, including among the main interested. Since arriving at OM , Pablo Longoria does not hesitate to use his networks to complete various operations, whether it is to bring in players or to initiate certain departures. This was particularly true in January 2021. During the last winter transfer window, Longoria had thus operated his contacts at Juventus , where he also worked for the past, to complete an unexpected operation, which is also today in the sights of the Italian justice. Thus, Marley Aké , who was heralded as one of the future talents of OM , had left the Marseille club to join the Old Lady. At the same time, it was Franco Tongya , a player represented by Mino Raiola , who joined the ranks of Marseille. At 19, the Italian midfielder was heralded as a player with a bright future. Promises that are still slow to be seen at OM . Indeed, almost a year after arriving at the Velodrome, Tongya has still not played for the first team of Jorge Sampaoli . So where is Franco Tongya at OM ? Given its situation, there are many questions. For RMC, those close to training on the Canebière have given their views on the former Juventus , describing him as a player who is not “a huge worker” and who does not have “the mind of the future champion which would allow him to force his destiny, even far from home”. It is therefore complicated for Tongya at OM , to the point that the Italian even questions his arrival at the Marseille club. “He's even adorable, kind, smiling. He's only 19, he's far from home, and most importantly he hasn't asked for anything. This is an age where there can already be jealousy in the locker room because of everyone's salary, status, and contract issues. Him, he sometimes wonders why he came to OM, especially as the staff of the professional group hardly take care of him, do not consider him “. So what about the OM position regarding Franco Tongya ? As developed by RMC, in Marseille one would like to be patient with the 19-year-old, still waiting a bit to see what he's really worth. See you in a few months…
