Neal Maupay’s future at the Olympique de Marseille seems uncertain. According to RMC Sport, the 29-year-old should not stay at the club, being gradually removed from the plans of coach Roberto De Zerbi since the arrival of Amine Gouiri and the return of Pierre-Emérik Aubameyang. Despite an exemplary attitude, Maupay was less titularized and absent from the band for the start of the season against Rennes. Several clubs like Nice, Lille and Udinese have shown their interest, Nice being particularly attractive because it is the player’s trainer club. OM, rather than relegating it to the bench, is open to a starting solution, and Maupay could write a new chapter in his career.

The atmosphere within the Olympique de Marseille remains tense after the initial defeat against Rennes, exacerbated by a violent altercation in the locker room between Adrien Rabiot and Jonathan Rowe. Both players were suspended from the first team following this altercation, which required the intervention of the management and teammates. OM even plans to propose to them to redeem themselves with a donation to the OM Foundation, in the hope of calming tensions and reminding them of the importance of the collective. This sanction will have an impact on the team, which will have to compose without these two players for the second day of Ligue 1 against the Paris FC.

Finally, OM faces increased competition for Edon Zhegrova. Initially an offensive priority, the Marseille club is now targeted by the Juventus Turin, which seems determined to seize the player, thanks in particular to the influence of Jonathan David, his former LOSC teammate. OM must therefore redouble its efforts to ensure the arrival of Zhegrova, whose creative profile is highly appreciated by Roberto De Zerbi. The next month will be crucial for OM in this battle for Kosovar talent, with the Juventus as the main rival.
