Jonathan Rowe: a turnaround at OM?

Jonathan Rowe: A Turning Point at OM?

Friends, a few weeks ago, we all thought that Jonathan Rowe, who arrived last summer for 17 million euros from Norwich, was packing his bags for Italy or elsewhere. But now, after a successful U21 Euro with England and a stellar summer prep under De Zerbi, the scenario has changed significantly. So, is Rowe going to stay with us for the upcoming season? Let's take stock together.

Paixão's Injury, a Key Factor

Let's not kid ourselves: if Igor Paixão hadn't gotten injured, maybe Rowe would already be booking his flight to Bergamo or Rome. But with this setback, the Marseille board doesn't have much of a choice anymore. Letting go of another offensive asset, especially on the left, would be risky, right? Do you think keeping Rowe should become a priority, even if it means putting other issues on hold? Tell us in the comments...

An Increasingly English-Speaking Locker Room

Another point not to be overlooked: Rowe's integration within the group. With Greenwood, Angel Gomes, and Egan-Riley already in the locker room, the Englishman has every reason to feel at home. And we all know how much cohesion matters for going far - especially with a coach like De Zerbi who advocates teamwork. Could this little "British clan" be the key to real success for our OM?

The Temptation of Serie A: Danger or Opportunity?

Watch out, though: Atalanta Bergamo and Roma haven't given up! The Italian clubs continue to monitor Rowe closely and could make a serious offer. Should we sell to recoup a nice sum and reinvest, or gamble on stability and keep our best young players? Financially, we know OM must always juggle, but in sports terms, would losing Rowe now be really reasonable? It's up to you to debate!

A Situation to Be Closely Monitored

The transfer window isn't over yet, and this Rowe saga might well keep us on our toes until the end. Lucrative sale or strategic retention? The decision of Benatia and Longoria will weigh heavily on our European ambitions and bench depth for 2025-2026. So, are you team "we keep" or team "we cash in"? We await your opinions, as always, in the comments!
