Olympique de Marseille is still looking to strengthen for next season. This time, it is on the Chelsea side that he is looking.
Pablo Longoria and recruiters from Olympique de Marseille No matter how hard they struggle, not much is happening for their club in these first weeks of the summer transfer window. After the surprise departure of coach Jorge Sampaoli, quickly replaced by Igor Tudor, the objective is to strengthen a workforce which is preparing to compete in the Champions League next season. But for now, the tracks do nothing. However, hope remains and a new idea has arisen.
It would therefore be Tiémoué Bakayoko. According to Gazzetta dello SportMarseille are particularly interested in the Chelsea player who fails to impose himself on the Blues since arriving in 2017. The French midfielder has been on loan season after season, having worked for AC Milan, AS Monaco and Napoli since joining Chelsea. Under contract until June 2023, he still does not enter Thomas Tuchel’s plans.
Still on the revival
The Italian press is therefore relaying Marseille’s interest in those who could take advantage of the opportunity to try for the umpteenth time to revive themselves.

And if this is the case, Marseille and Chelsea will have to agree on the type of contract. The advantage of a loan with an option to buy could satisfy everyone.
