In difficulty in the Terem Moffi file, OM would nevertheless be on the verge of completing the signing of their second reinforcement this winter.
Strengthening your attacking sector is one of the priorities of Olympique de Marseille this winter. OM have already secured a first recruit in the person of Ruslan Malinovskkyi. The attacking midfielder is on loan with a mandatory purchase option under certain conditions at the Provençal club. The Ukrainian international was already on the shelves of Marseille last summer. But Pablo Longoria had come up against the firmness of Atalanta Bergamo and its enormous demands. Malinovskyi’s loan completed, Marseille intends to sign a new reinforcement this winter.

The Serbian international is a well-known face of Igor Tudor. The Serbian technician was still on the bench for Hellas Verona last season. With the transfer of Gerson, Olympique de Marseille could therefore compensate for the departure of the Brazilian who returned to the fold this winter on the side of Flamengo. According to information from Gianluca Di Marzio, OM still have a good chance of closing the transfer of Ivan Ilic. Which was also on the shelves of the Torino. But the transfer window specialist reveals that Marseille’s proposal remains far superior to that of the Italian club. This would only offer 14 million euros to secure the services of the middle of Verona.
