Back in the Champions League thanks to his dolphin place behind Paris Saint-Germain, theOlympique de Marseille does not intend to do figuration in the most prestigious of European competitions.
The good journeys of French clubs in this new formula have given ideas to the strong heads of the Marseille club. “Brest appeared well before being destroyed by PSG, Monaco lost against Inter, it's true, but with a player expelled very early, and they had beaten Barcelona on the first day, the ROBERTO DE ZERBI. This year, in the Champions League, French clubs have made interesting results. »»
Roberto De Zerbi, coach of the OM.
An ambition that will also result behind the scenes, on the transfer market. If the defense remains the priority sector of this summer transfer window, OM does not refrain from, as demonstrated by the arrival of the English international midfielder Angel Gomes. In attack, too, the vice-champions of France are on the lookout for weight reinforcement.
Abline at OM? Nantes makes a big ad
With this in mind, a name insisted: Matthis Abbline. Author of an excellent season with FC Nantes, the French striker is a rising value at his post. But if its profile is unanimous to bring competition to Amine Gouiri and Mason Greenwood, FC Nantes has set a strong price.
Asked about this file, Waldemar Kita seems to determine to discourage OM. “Everything will depend on how it will arise. If in Marseille they think they are (Matthis) abline for nothing at all, they are mistaken, thundered the president of FC Nantes in the team. That they stop putting pressure on the players each time. They did it with (Valentin) Rongier and (Quentin) Merlin. Abline will not go to OM, unless they pay a fortune, € 50 million. They don't have that much money. »» It is said.
