OM Mercato: A major cleaning in progress in Marseille
The last few days have been intense and rather joyful for Olympique de Marseille, which is trying to enter a new era. Despite its financial difficulties, the Marseille club managed to secure a fifth summer recruit. After Samuel Gigot, Isaac Touré, Chancel Mbemba and Jonathan Clauss, it’s Ruben Blanco’s turn to make a definitive commitment with OM. The Spanish goalkeeper arrives in Marseille to succeed Steve Mandanda, who left for Stade Rennais. Other reinforcements are also expected at OM in the coming days.
But before continuing with its summer recruitment, the Marseille club will have to overhaul its workforce. And according to information revealed by journalist Idriss Kasmi, some OM players can already start packing their bags. This is particularly the case of Duje Caleta-Car. According to information from the colleague, the Croatian defender is in the front line of potential starters. One year from the end of his contract expiring in June 2023, the Marseille leaders would like to sell him this summer and are already working behind the scenes to find him a new way out. Other departures are also taking shape within the Marseille club.
OM Mercato: Sead Kolasinac and Jordan Amavi push towards the exit
Arrived during the last winter transfer window from Arsenal, Sead Kolasinac is not certain to continue his adventure in Marseille. The Bosnian defender is considered too irregular in his performances and has shown a disappointing level of play so far. According to the source, the Marseille club intends to separate from him in order to facilitate the arrival of Darko Lazovic from Hellas Verona.
Back from a complicated loan to OGC Nice, Jordan Amavi Should also bear the brunt of this major cleaning announced in Marseille. The Marseille club would not be against the idea of getting rid of the former Aston Villa player. Discussions will have already started in this direction. Idriss Kasmi adds that the Marseille revelation, Bamba Dieng, could also be sold this summer if the supply is satisfactory. SC Friborg would have already gone on the offensive for his transfer, even if it looks very complicated. The Marseille club would expect around 15 million euros to act on his departure. Olympique de Marseille is therefore preparing for a big wave of departures in the days to come.
