Number Changes: Maupay Takes 7, Gomes Gets 8

Friends, the number shuffle continues at OM! Angel Gomes, newly arrived and already introduced to the press, will wear number 8 next season. The direct result: Neal Maupay, who had that number, takes 7. A detail for some, but for us who scrutinize every sign, it can mean a lot, right?

What Future for Maupay at OM?

Let's be honest, no one can guarantee that Maupay will still be an Olympian at the start of the season. Between rumors of Aubameyang's return and the club's desire to strengthen the offensive sector behind Gouiri, the pressure is rising. Honestly, with Moumbagna already in the squad, it's starting to get crowded up front. What do you think? Would Maupay's departure be a waste or a good move?

Sporting Management and Finances: Let's Take Stock

Let's bring this to the counter: keeping four strikers is a luxury we haven't often allowed ourselves in Marseille. Financially, it quickly gets tricky, especially with salaries like those of Aubam or even Maupay. On the other hand, competition can also make the goal tally explode if everyone plays the game. But we also know that too many players can create tensions in the locker room, especially when there's "status" to manage. What would you bet on? A rich squad or tighter management with real statuses?

Shall We Discuss Together?

So, according to you, is this number change for Maupay a simple adjustment or a sign he's being pushed out? And if Aubameyang returns, who should leave? Give us your opinions in the comments, we’ll meet just below to remake the world OM version!
