OM: Jonathan Rowe on the way out? Uncertainty about his future

Who would have thought that a year after Jonathan Rowe's arrival at OM, we'd already be questioning his departure? Remember, last year, he did everything to wear our jersey, and the club spent 14.5 million euros to bring him in. The result: a mixed season, despite some flashes (notably against OL, which we won't forget!), but only 3 goals and 4 assists in 30 games. We're far from the consistency expected for a transfer of that amount, aren't we?

A summer to bounce back... but competition intensifies

We thought winning the Euro U21s with England would give him a new lease of life. And let's be honest: scoring the winning goal in the final establishes a player. However, at the same time, OM opened the checkbook to recruit Igor Paixao, the most expensive Brazilian in our history. You feel it as I do? The message is clear: no one has a free pass, even less so Rowe, who must fight to keep his place as an impact player.

Stade Rennais in the ranks, but England hasn't forgotten Rowe

So, what to do? Keep Rowe? Sell him before his value drops? According to our information, the club doesn't intend to sell him off, but won't oppose a departure if a good offer comes in. Rennes, who have already recruited Rongier and Merlin, are now interested in our English winger. But let's be honest, the interest remains tepid for now. Meanwhile, several Premier League clubs are closely monitoring his situation, not forgetting Atalanta, Roma, and even Fenerbahçe or Besiktas.

What's at stake for OM?

We need to ask the right questions: selling Rowe means getting a nice sum to reinvest elsewhere (we know Longoria loves that), but do we risk seeing him explode in another team's colors? Sportingly, he hasn't convinced everyone, but at 22, it's hard to make a definitive conclusion. Especially with an encouraging preseason and newfound confidence with the national team. On the other hand, with the competition from Paixao and a still high market value, maybe it's the right time to move on. What do you think?

And now, what do we do?

The continuation of the Rowe saga will depend on concrete offers in the coming days. Do we sell him, loan him, or give him a real second chance? Tell us in the comments what you would do if you were in the club's position! Let's discuss, debate, and as always, we move forward together. Come on, OM!
