Pablo Longoria would like to strengthen OM’s attacking sector during the winter transfer window. Ruslan Malinovskyi (Atalanta) would still be tracked. The Marseillais could also recruit a defender.
In today’s edition, The Team evokes the upcoming transfer window of OM. Pablo Longoria would have had the idea of strengthening the offensive sector of Igor Tudor’s team for several weeks. Amine Harit’s injury would have reinforced his choice and several elements would be targeted.
Malinovskyi would remain OM’s priority
The daily confirms that the Marseille team is still in the game to secure the services of Ruslan Malinovskyi. Aged 29, the player is only seven months away from the end of his contract with Atalanta. Its leaders could accept a proposal this winter, provided that it reaches the level of their requirements. The Ukrainian plays little this season: he has only spent 540 minutes on the pitch, for 1 goal and 2 assists. Tottenham, West Ham and Nottingham Forest would be on the spot to recruit him. And in Italy, Inter Milan would have an eye on him: the case is therefore far from being closed! Pablo Longoria, David Friio and Javier Ribalta are also said to have checked off other names for the attack. However, they did not filter.
OM could also strengthen the axis of their defense. Eric Bailly is in trouble with muscle injuries that interfere with his exercise. The daily indicates that the Ivorian international will follow a real physical preparation, this fall, in order to find better feelings. The player had indeed arrived late, during the summer. In case doubts remain after his work, the Marseille leaders could find him a replacement.
Moreover, the departure of Gerson for Flamengo seems to have lead in the wing. The Brazilian club would not have transmitted the proposal expected by the Phocaeans and the midfielder could be forced to return to Marseille in the coming days.
