The Olympique de Marseille closely follows Jonathan David
According to RMC Sport, the Olympique de Marseille (OM) is very interested in Canadian player Jonathan David. The Phocéan club would be interested in the 23-year-old striker who is currently playing at LOSC Lille.
However, according to TeamTalk’s information, OM could be ahead of itself in this case by Inter Milan. Indeed, the Italian club has already submitted a formal offer for Jonathan David, which would cover a five-year contract with an annual salary of 4.5 million euros, a major bonus of up to about 6 million euros per season.
According to TeamTalk, Inter Milan would be close to concluding a comprehensive agreement including the costs related to the player’s agent. President Giuseppe Marotta would push to bring the Canadian striker to Milan.
However, despite its interest, OM seems to be ahead in this case by other European cadors such as Liverpool, Arsenal, Newcastle and West Ham in the Premier League, as well as FC Barcelona in Liga.
Jonathan David has not yet stopped his decision on his future and the situation remains open to other contenders, including OM, who could try to position themselves despite a marked delay in competition.
Paul Pogba could bounce back in Major League Soccer
Free from any contract since his departure from Juventus, Paul Pogba could continue his career in the United States. According to media reports The Athletic, the DC United club holds the right to discover the French field environment.
The discovery rights mechanism is specific to the MLS and allows a club to get a priority to negotiate with an international player. This is a way to avoid overbidding between franchises. In the case of Paul Pogba, DC United confirmed being in discussions for a potential arrival of the 32-year-old player.
The former Manchester United and Juventus player has not played a professional game since September 2023, shortly before his suspension for doping. This ban, initially of four years, was reduced to 18 months in October 2024, allowing Pogba to return to training last January and competition since March.
Announced a time as a target of the Olympique de Marseille, Paul Pogba seems to be moving towards an experience in MLS. He attended several North American championship matches, including the defeat of the LAFC against Austin in March. The Washington club has been seeking to strengthen its staff since Wayne Rooney left and has a seat available for a Pogba stature player.
The Olympique de Marseille follows two Algerian internationals
According to information from DZfoot, Olympique de Marseille follows two Algerian internationals closely: Houssem Aouar and Ramy Bensebaini. However, no concrete offer will be made until the club is determined on its qualification in the Champions League.
The summer mercato is approaching and on the side of the Commanderie, the tracks are quietly activated. OM carefully follows two well-known profiles: Houssem Aouar, currently in Al-Ittihad but eager to leave Saudi Arabia, and Ramy Bensebaini, defender of Borussia Dortmund.
Their European experiences, their versatility and their technical profile please internally. However, the Phocéan club will not make any decisions until it knows its fate in the championship: without Champions League, priorities and means could be drastically reviewed.
At the same time, OM could lose Amine Harit, which would free up a place in the workforce. But a recruitment of Aouar and Bensebaini would accentuate a known problem: that of absences at the next African Cup of Nations. With these two reinforcements, it would potentially be six Olympian players involved in the CAN in January 2026. A parameter that the Marseille management will have to take into account to build a balanced and competitive workforce throughout the season.**
