Amine Adli at 30M, good move or risk for OM?

Our OM is seriously active on the Amine Adli file, the dazzling winger of Bayer Leverkusen. Nothing is set, of course, but the interest is real and the management is watching the market like a hawk. With Jonathan Rowe in high demand after his strong preseason, it feels like the leaders want to anticipate and avoid a last-minute unpleasant surprise. But then, is this really the right path? Let's discuss it together!

Why Adli attracts De Zerbi (and why it's stuck)

Let's not kid ourselves, Amine Adli didn't have his best season: 2 goals, 2 assists in the Bundesliga. Yet, he checks quite a few boxes: technique, speed, versatility (he can play on both sides), and he already knows Ligue 1 thanks to Toulouse. De Zerbi is clearly taken with his profile. But there's a big catch: Leverkusen is asking for 30 million euros! Honestly, even if we've seen worse on the market, it's something to consider, right?

The loan with an option, the good deal?

Longoria doesn't want to spend the entire budget on a single recruit, especially since we're already well-equipped on the wings with Paixao and Greenwood. So, the club is thinking about a loan with a purchase obligation, a formula that worked well this summer for other players. It's clever, but it's still a gamble: we commit to buying, so we need to be sure about it. And if Adli doesn't make his mark? We've been there before, haven't we?

English competition and plan B: Rowe or nothing?

Be careful, we're not alone in this: Sunderland is also on the case. But according to German media, OM is in pole position. Still, some of us think it would be wiser to keep Rowe, who has become the favorite at the Vélodrome (and frankly, he's earned it). Between keeping a promising young talent or betting big on Adli, the debate is open. And you, what do you think?

Analysis: An opportunity to seize or a danger for the club?

Sportingly, Adli checks the boxes, but at this price, it's quite an investment. Is it worth taking the financial risk, especially if Rowe stays? On the other hand, if Rowe leaves and we don't go for Adli, we might end up empty-handed. It's clearly a complicated balance for Longoria and Benatia: betting on the future, but without sinking the club's finances.

So, friends, are you more team Adli or team Rowe? Ready to break the bank, or should we play for stability? We're looking forward to your opinions in the comments, it promises to be a great debate!
