After Peaceãoão and Aubameyang, OM changes targets … and this time attacks a defensive nugget from Eastern Europe.
OM has not lifted the foot on the transfer market. After having secured the signing of Igor Paixao for 35 million euros and
Statched the return of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyangfree, Marseille leaders continue to scrutinize the market. This time, it is no longer in attack that the site continues, but in defense, where a new target has been emerging for several days.
According to several Ukrainian sources, OM has approached Dynamo kyiv to attach the services of Taras Mykhavko, a 20 -year -old central defender. This young talent, still little known to the general public, has already played 39 games in all competitions in the past season, including a recent preliminary Tour of the Champions League. A regularity that logically attracts the eye of the Longoria-Benatia duo.
An offer transmitted for the Ukrainian defender
According to journalist Viktor Vatsko, quoted by Footbalua, OM would have made an offer of 15 million euros to afford Mykhavko, under contract with kyiv until 2028. The president of the dynamo, he denies everything in block, evoking “gossip”. But another local journalist, Ihor Tsyganyk, says that several clubs are preparing to come forward. Marseille, in any case, seems to be one step ahead.
Why this eagerness? It could be explained by the disappointing performance of Derek Cornelius, whose future is written in dotted lines. Roberto de Zerbi does not necessarily count on him, and OM wants to anticipate by strengthening the left axis of his defense. With Mykhavko, the club would again bet on a young profile with high potential, in line with the recruitment of Medina or Egan-Riley.
Gap watches, OM accelerates
But as often on the emerging talent market, competition lurks. FC Porto, a genre specialist, also monitors Mykhavko closely. If the Portuguese were to make an offer, the file could quickly ignite. OM, well placed, only has to conclude to strike a new blow. And demonstrate that even in defense, his transfer window remains ambitious.
