The Olympique de Marseille remains on the lookout for offensive reinforcements to improve its workforce. The LOSC player, Edon Zhegrova, is one of the names regularly mentioned, hailed for his performances since his arrival in the Lille club. Although no official contact has been established to date, OM’s interest persists. Discussions between the leaders, Pablo Longoria for OM and Olivier Lรฉtang for LOSC, have not yet taken place, despite a good personal understanding between the two men that could facilitate future negotiations. The LOSC had initially set a price of more than 20 million euros for Zhegrova, but a financial agreement of around 15 million euros fixed, supplemented by bonuses, could allow its signature. OM also seeks to alleviate its offensive sector by considering the departures of Maupay, Harit and Mumbagna, which could free up space for Zhegrova’s arrival.
Parallel to this track, Olympique de Marseille officially welcomed Timothy Weah, a young winger of the Juventus, in loan with option of purchase. The arrival of the 25-year-old was celebrated with enthusiasm by nearly 300 fans at Marignane Airport, in a festive atmosphere. The player, accompanied by his family, including his mother who manages his interests and his father George Weah, former OM glory, expressed his gratitude and emotion for this warm welcome. Weah’s arrival is particularly expected after a period of uncertainty with the Juventus.
Before officially engaging with OM, Timothy Weah will spend his medical visit Wednesday, the last stage before joining the Phocรฉan club. This signature marks a new stage in the career of the young wingman, who continues in the footsteps of his father, OM legend. This recruit is part of a strategy to strengthen the Marseille workforce, aimed at bringing depth and quality to the offensive sector. OM continues to explore other tracks in the middle of the field, demonstrating its ambition to structure itself for the coming season.
