While the winter transfer window is fast approaching, Pablo Longoria would have several big files on the fire. Between potential departures and probable arrivals, what should be the operation favored by the president of OM this winter? This is our poll of the day!
President of OM , Pablo Longoria has always been particularly active on the market during the three transfer sessions in which he took part since his arrival as a simple sporting director in the summer of 2020. Evidenced by his first transfer window as president in the last offseason when Longoria demonstrated his ability to recruit, but a little less when he had to downsize the workforce of Jorge Sampaoli . And during the winter transfer session, it would be possible that some departures are looming. But President Longoria would have to hear it that way. Between departures and potential arrivals, Pablo Longoria may well have to decide.
Saliba, Kamara, Amavi, Vidal, Sanchez… Which file in priority?
According to information disclosed by Ekrem Konur , the executive committee of OM would be totally won over by the performance of William Saliba since the start of his loan agreed with Arsenal last summer. And while Saliba has never played for the Gunners' first team, OM are said to be ready to try to get Arsenal to part ways with the 20-year-old defender for good by offering a transfer offer when no call option was included in the deal, unlike the one for Matteo Guendouzi . In addition, and although he extended his contract last May, Jordan Amavi is absolutely not essential to Jorge Sampaoli and Fenerbahçe would seem open to an offensive this winter according to journalist Ekrem Konur . Provided that the OM agrees to simply lend it, the Fener not having the necessary funds to assume a transfer according to Atakin Anil . In addition, and while a contract extension would be more and more delicate, Milan AC would be likely to launch a winter offensive for Boubacar Kamara whose commitment to OM will end in June. In fact, according to Calciomercato.com, Kamara would have rejected the last extension offer proposed by the OM . In Italy, it is also specified that the profiles of Arturo Vida l and Alexis Sanchez would always please Jorge Sampaoli .
Between settling hot internal issues or responding favorably to Sampaoli's requests, what should Pablo Longoria's priority be this winter?
