Olympique de Marseille is very close to hitting an unexpected blow on the transfer market. The Marseille club is very interested in Park Seung-Soo, an 18-year-old South Korean winger, considered one of Asia's most promising talents. If the case ends, it would be a historic first for OM, which is currently fighting with Bayern Munich and Newcastle United to convince the player.

Park Seung-Soo, trained in the Suwon Bluewings and revelation of the K League 2, already attracts the eyes of European recruiters. His precocity impresses: at 17, he became the youngest player to evolve in pro in the history of the South Korean championship at 17. Above all, his profile fits perfectly with the Marseille project driven by Roberto de Zerbi and the Longoria – Benatia tandem, which bet on talents with strong potential, with an investment cost still measured. This left winger could represent a solution for the future in an offensive sector under reconstruction after the departure of Luis Henrique. If Newcastle seemed in advance, sources indicate that the entourage of the player would see a good eye a departure in Ligue 1, where OM would guarantee him a better development framework. According to Caughtoffside, the three clubs have already transmitted offers and await an imminent decision. This could intervene before July 30, the date of a friendly match from Newcastle in Suwon. In the event of a signature, Park would become the first South Korean in OM history, with all that that supposes in terms of visibility on the Asian market. A daring bet, but which could bring big.
