The Olympique de Marseille is actively preparing for the coming season with its fifth and final pre-season match scheduled tonight at 8pm against FC Seville. Coach Roberto De Zerbi relies on his staff to continue the summer preparation for Ligue 1, with a notable return from Ulisses Garcia and the return to the bench of the recruit Egan-Riley. De Zerbi’s model team includes players such as Murillo, Baleard, Medina, Garcia, Gomes, Hojbjerg, Rabiot, Greenwood, Gouiri, and Rowe, demonstrating a desire for stability while integrating new elements.

In a recent analysis of RMC, Kevin Diaz expressed reservations about Amine Harit’s ability to win in an ambitious Marseille Olympic. Although he recognizes the positive attitude of the Moroccan offensive milieu, Diaz points to a lack of consistency in his performances, a flaw considered to be re-defining for a team aiming for the podium in Ligue 1 and a qualification for the Champions League. He believes that Harit failed to meet the expectations placed in him, despite his potential and his mentality.

For Kevin Diaz, Dimitri Payet’s departure leaves a creative gap in the Marseilles game, and Harit has never been able to take on this legacy. This situation potentially opens a dossier for Pablo Longoria, OM’s sports director, in search of a technical leader capable of embodying De Zerbi’s game project. With the ambition to qualify for the Champions League this season, OM cannot afford to rely on unstable players, and the question of the future of Harit remains open.
