A friendly preseason match allowed the Italian coach to spot a promising talent.
Roberto de Zerbi never misses an opportunity to scan the market. During OM 2-0 victory against Girona as a friendly coach, the Italian coach had his eye attracted by a particularly attractive opposing player. A performance that has not gone unnoticed on the Marseille side, where we are already starting to think about the means of attracting it to the Canebière. This discovery fell timely for a gaming sector that De Zerbi absolutely wishes to strengthen before the official resumption.
This opposing nugget that makes Zerbi crack
It was Miguel Gutiérrez who caught the eye of the Marseille technician. Girona's left side, despite the defeat of her team, delivered a remarkable performance against the Phocaeans. Its constant climbs, its technique and its ability to animate the left corridor won over from Zerbi, always on the lookout for versatile profiles. The 23 -year -old Spaniard would perfectly correspond to the offensive football advocated by the former coach of Brighton.
Following this match, Marseille leaders quickly activated their networks. Pablo Longoria and Mehdi Benatia have formulated “An attractive offer” According to Spanish media,
showing their determination to complete this file. But competition from Naples, also on the ranks, complicates the situation. The Italians seem to have taken ahead with Girona, who claims 20 million euros for her player.
OM's defensive emergency
This track is part of the Marseille desire to solidify the rear guard after having invested in attack. With Peaceãoão and Aubameyang already arrived, OM is now focusing on its defense. Gutiérrez would thus join the list of defensive targets alongside Mykhavko and Ordóñez, confirming the priority given to this sector of play by the Marseille.
Quentin Merlin's departure to Rennes created a vacuum at the post of left side that De Zerbi wishes to fill quickly. If Ultisses Garcia and Medina can help out, the Italian coach dreams of a specialist capable of bringing the offensive excess. Gutiérrez, revealed during this famous friendly, could well be the ideal solution. It remains to convince Girona and to be ahead of Naples in this race for the Spanish side which knew how to seduce during a simple preparation match.
