The Olympique de Marseille seems determined to retain Jonathan Rowe, a young British winger, despite the growing interest of several European clubs, including Atalanta Bergame. Coach Roberto De Zerbi clearly expressed his wish to keep him for the season, considering him a key element of his game project. Despite the increased competition with the arrival of new players like Igor Paixão, the Marseille club does not seem willing to negotiate and no concrete offer has been accepted. This situation could quickly be closed, except in the event of a last-minute turnaround.

The football team of Olympique de Marseille is about to host FC Seville in a friendly match at the Vélodrome stadium, an event that arouses considerable enthusiasm. The 55,000 seats already sold attest to the fans’ expectations for this first home game of the season. This meeting marks the long-awaited return of the players to their field after intense summer preparation, and the enthusiasm is palpable with the arrival of new recruits like Pierre-Emérik Aubameyang and Igor Paixão.

This friendly match is seen as an important test for OM, allowing them to assess their dynamics and prepare for future deadlines, including the match against Aston Villa and the opening of Ligue 1 against Rennes. The accessibility of prices and the attractiveness of De Zerbi’s new tactics contribute to the ambient enthusiasm. OM lives at the pace of its club, and even in the summer, the Vélodrome stadium remains a place of passion and waiting.
