Olympique de Marseille has already been very active in the transfer window. Igor Paixão has arrived for large money from Feyenoord, while Facundo Medina has also signed with RC -Lens.
However, Marseille has also shown itself particularly at the free agent market. Angel Gomes came in for free after the expiry of his deal at Lille OSC; Colleague Englishman CJ Egan-Vriley also came in, after the passage of his deal in Burnley; And Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang cut his deal in Saudi Arabia short to return to the Vélodrome, one year after departure.
It may not be finished there. Ligue1+, the sports director of the club, Medhi Benatia, spoke with the new broadcaster of the French top flight, revealed his plans for the end of the window. “There are one or two positions that we want to strengthen … a left back, maybe a middle behind. We also think of a midfielder,” he started.
The Moroccan added: “But we don't have an unlimited budget. We look at market opportunities.” That interview came before the defeat of Les Phocéens to stad Rennais (1-0), a result that can further tempt to dive back into the market in the next fourteen days.
