A big imminent signing in Marseille!
OM Mercato: New twist in Marseille news. The Marseille club is close to completing the signing of a Valencia strongman.
OM Mercato: Longoria close to attracting Marco Otero to Marseille
Qualified for the next Champions League, Olympique de Marseille is quietly preparing its summer transfer window. And this also involves a change in the organization chart of OM. Indeed, the position of director of the training center of the Marseille club has been vacant since the recent departure of Nasser Larguet. The Moroccan technician handed in his resignation to the Marseille leaders for ” personal reasons “, before heading to Saudi Arabia. From now on, OM are working to find their replacement.
And to do this, the choice of the Marseille leaders would be Marco Oterothe current director of the academy of Valencia. The Phocaean ensures that the Spanish leader should indeed be appointed head of the OM training center. Pablo Longoria knows very well Marco Otero for collaborating with him during his time in Valencia. The two men have since maintained excellent relations, which should facilitate the negotiations. Linked to the Ché club until June 2024, Marco Otero should therefore terminate his contract in order to bounce back in Marseille in the days to come. The case would even be on a very good track between the different parties. His arrival at OM would only be a matter of time.
OM Mercato: The Marseille reserve soon to be abolished?
Much appreciated by Pablo Longoria, Marco Otero is thus preparing to experience a new adventure at Olympique de Marseille, where he will have a key role. Because his next coming is part of a round plan led by the management of OM with major upheavals planned thereafter. The source explains in particular that the Marseille management would consider eliminating the reserve team. If this decision is confirmed, many young people in this category and the U19s should look elsewhere. This deletion would be part of the club’s restructuring project. But this decision is far from final.
The OM Mercato market threatened by the DNCG?
In addition, Olympique de Marseille, whose payroll has been banned for more than a year by the DNCG, has just received bad news. The financial policeman of French football, as part of the “re-examination” of the financial situation of clubs before the start of the 2022-2023 season, issued a “respite” towards OM. This decision risks having a considerable impact on the next Marseille recruitment, which it nevertheless announces is very ambitious.
The leaders of OM, Pablo Longoria and its teams, will therefore have to provide additional elements to the DNCG, same story for the LOSC. While three other clubs, RC Lens, Montpellier and Ajaccio, have received the green light from the body.
