3 OM transfer market updates: Recruits, pressure from McCourt, and major cleanup

Timothy Weah very close to the Canebière: the perfect move for our OM?

Friends, we might have the first major move of the Olympic transfer window! According to ultra-reliable information from Fabrizio Romano, OM is about to finalize the arrival of Timothy Weah from Juventus. A loan with a mandatory purchase option, we're talking about an amount around 15 million euros. So, is it a good or bad move for us?

Let’s be honest: Weah is an ultra-versatile profile, capable of occupying the right flank and even moving higher up. At 25, he’s coming off a mixed season in Turin, but we feel he really wants to revive his career with our colors. With De Zerbi, he could find the ideal context to express himself. But watch out: are we not taking a financial risk with this almost automatic buy loan? And at this price, we are entitled to expect a player who really explodes in Ligue 1. What do you think? Is it a winning bet or a risky gamble? Let us know in the comments if you approve of this choice!

A transfer window under high surveillance: McCourt puts on the pressure

We all know last season was costly for our club. Frank McCourt has therefore demanded more discipline for this transfer window, and the management is applying the golden rule: sell before buying. We don’t have the same unlimited budget as some clubs, even if we’re doing better than most of our French rivals. It’s frustrating, but it’s the reality of modern football…

As a result, the Longoria-Benatia duo is walking on eggshells: we need to trim down before trying to strengthen. We have ambitions, but we must remain realistic. The question is: will we succeed in selling enough to offer De Zerbi the players he demands? How far to go in parting with key players? The right balance is the key, but who among our unwanted players will truly find a buyer at a good price? We await your predictions and analyses in the reactions!

Operation slim down: who will leave the ship this summer?

The list of potential departures is long, and some names are likely to make headlines. According to La Provence, at least seven players are on the chopping block: goalkeepers Blanco and Ngapandouetnbu, Lirola at the back, Harit, Ounahi, and Koné in the midfield, and Moumbagna in front. We shouldn’t kid ourselves, many haven’t proven themselves with us or no longer fit into De Zerbi's playing project.

But that’s not all: Merlin, Garcia, or Cornelius could also pack their bags if a good offer lands on Longoria's desk. And what about some big salaries weighing heavily on the payroll, like Rongier or Maupay? We can sense that the club is looking to keep those who fit the coach's vision, even if it means shaking up the squad. In your opinion, who will truly leave? Is it the right strategy to start fresh? Share your feelings, friends, it’s time to reshape the transfer window together!
