OM : Stroeykens in the center of attention, and De Zerbi is putting on a “greening”
L’Olympique de Marseille is active, with several tracks explored and strategic decisions made by his coach, Roberto De Zerbi. The situation surrounding the young Belgian offensive milieu, Mario Stroeykens, is particularly at the heart of the discussions.
Stroeykens, the new Marseille target
The Phocean club is very interested in Stroeykens, a 20-year-old player revealed in Anderlecht. Marseille recruiters, impressed by its versatile and technical profile, consider it a key element in strengthening the offensive inter-game, a position where options sometimes lack consistency. The player, under contract until 2026 and without prolongation with Anderlecht, represents an opportunity to seize, especially because of its estimated market value of 14 million euros.
A “green set” to regain serenity
Aware of the pressure surrounding Commanderie, Roberto De Zerbi decided to put in place an unusual strategy: a “greening” in Rome. Inspired by current practices in the transalpine championship, this method aims to cut off players from outside agitation and refocus them only on football. This initiative, scheduled until the last game of the season against Rennes (18 May), is an answer to the tension and difficulties encountered by the team.
Greenwood always at the center of attention
While Stroeykens is an active track, the future of the English winger Mason Greenwood is also at the heart of the discussions. Liverpool, interested in its performance, plans to propose between 75 and 80 million euros to convince him to leave Marseille. However, Manchester United, owner of 50% of the player’s rights, could block a possible operation.
Brest, a weak opponent
Before the shock against Brest this Sunday, the Brest club faces several key absences, including defenders Abdoulaye Ndiaye and goaltender Marco Bizot. This situation could represent an opportunity for OM, who is under pressure to ensure his qualification in the Champions League.
Fanatics suspended
Following the festival organized during the match against Toulouse, Marseille fans, the Fanatics, are suspended until the match against Brest.
