The Olympique de Marseille experienced an active summer mercato, completing the arrivals of Højbjerg, Rowe, Maupay, Gomes, Egan-Riley, Medina, Aubameyang and Paixão. The club continues its recruitment with four new tracks, including an additional central defender to strengthen the axis, with Jackson Porozó Ordóñez (Boa Vista) as the preferred option. OM also monitors the left side market to bring competition and strengthen its workforce, while looking at Timothy Weah of the Juventus for the right flank, a versatile player able to evolve to several offensive positions.

OM’s interest in Joel Ordóñez, Ecuadorian defender of Bruges, was relayed by the Spanish media, with Liverpool also showing its interest. Despite this competition, OM seems to have the advantage, the player having expressed his willingness to join Marseilles, seduced by Roberto De Zerbi’s project and the club’s ambition. The negotiations between OM and Bruges are moving towards an agreement of principles estimated at 33 million euros, making it one of the biggest investments in the club’s recent history.

OM finally secured Timothy Weah’s arrival with a verbal agreement with the Juventus. The transfer includes loan fees, a purchase obligation and additional modules. This offensive recruit, able to move to several positions, strengthens an already well-stocked sector with players such as Greenwood, Paixão and Aubameyang. The arrival of Weah is part of Roberto De Zerbi’s desire to expand the team’s offensive options for the new season, confirming the ambitious mercato undertaken by the Olympique de Marseille.
