Mason Greenwood: the Olympian "starboy" ready to explode (again!)

Friends, we can feel it: it's now the season of confirmation for Mason Greenwood. After his first year at OM where he made waves (22 goals, 5 assists, co-top scorer in Ligue 1), our Anglo-Jamaican striker is in top form, ready to assume his status as the team's star. Did you see him in preparation? Seven goals, top-class moves, and a rare desire to destroy everything. Clearly, the guy has taken the criticism of his defensive retreats to heart, and he wants to show everyone that he can wear the number 10 with pride. What do you think: is this the year Greenwood truly reaches the European summits?

Roberto De Zerbi, who knows the Greenwood family well, hasn't hidden his enthusiasm. He wants him to be more consistent, more involved in big matches, but he also knows he has a gem on his hands. On paper, with the arrival of Paixao and Aubameyang, our attack should scare everyone – and the chemistry is already apparent. Moreover, Aubameyang didn't hesitate to nickname him the "starboy," nothing less!

Now, the real question is managing the phenomenon in the transfer market. Foreign clubs, especially in Saudi Arabia, are putting on the pressure, but OM remains firm: no sale. Until when? If an XXL offer comes in, do you think Longoria and Benatia will hold firm or cave under the numbers? Frankly, we're waiting for your opinions on this in the comments!

Souleymane Diawara returns, and remains as Marseille as ever!

Here's some news that pleases: Souleymane Diawara is back in action, this time as a pitchside consultant for Ligue 1+. Those who knew him as a player know we'll get frankness and analyses that exude genuine football, not empty talk. He clearly says he will walk around with a microphone close to the action, capturing the atmosphere, asking the right questions, and bringing the matches to life as if we were there. That's exactly what we love, right?

Diawara continues to have OM in his blood. Even after years away from the pitch, he remains a true supporter and shows optimism for the season. According to him, the transfer window led by Benatia and Longoria is "intelligent": keeping key players, adding experience (Aubameyang) and youth (Paixao, Medina), and building a squad that can aim high. For Diawara, if PSG struggles a bit with their preparation and all their consecutive matches, there is a real window for our OM to fight for the title until the last day. Do you believe, too? Let us know if you share his optimism!

It's clear that Diawara is forever marked by his years in Marseille: champion, triple winner of the Coupe de la Ligue, crazy memories at the Old Port... He dreams of reliving moments like that with the Greenwood generation. But to get there, we need to turn our beautiful summer promises into concrete victories. The road is long, but nothing is impossible with the support of the Marseillais!

Can OM aim for the title this season? Let's talk about it!

You got it, whether on the field with Greenwood or pitchside with Diawara, OM is starting the season with ambition and the desire to prove themselves. Between a thrilling attack, a stable locker room, and smart recruitment, are all lights truly green? Or will the transfer window's sirens, as often, risk disturbing us in August?

Friends, we want your analyses: who will truly carry the team this season? Will Greenwood succeed in winning the top scorer ranking again? Is Diawara too optimistic about the battle with PSG? We're waiting for you in the comments to debate among enthusiasts!
