OM Transfer Market: Selling Rowe to finance Ordonez's arrival?

Is OM ready to sacrifice Jonathan Rowe to secure the arrival of the colossus Ordonez? Scorching transfer market, tactical dilemma: should everything be invested in defense!

Reporter

Things are heating up at the Commanderie! With the end of the transfer window fast approaching, our Olympique de Marseille is doing everything to strengthen the defensive axis. The name making the rounds right now? Joel Ordonez, the solid 21-year-old Ecuadorian defender, Belgian champion with Club Bruges and already well-versed on the European scene. Honestly, who wouldn't want to see a 1.88m giant, strong in duels and with character, arrive in the blue and white jersey? Do you know Ordonez a little? Tell us if you think he'd fit the Marseille mentality!

On the Pitch: A Reinforcement That Makes Sense?

Let's be honest, defense has often been our Achilles' heel in recent seasons. Ordonez, he's already lifted the Cup, the Supercup, and the championship in Belgium, not to mention his experience in the Champions League. We're talking about a guy who knows pressure and isn't afraid of big challenges. But be careful, we're also talking about a 21-year-old: does he have the shoulders to immediately establish himself in the Vélodrome cauldron? We want your opinion because it's also you, behind the screen, who make OM vibrate!

The Price: 30 Million Isn't Cheap!

Where it pinches is the check. Bruges is demanding no less than 30 million euros, and we all know that's not nothing for our OM. Especially since there are still needs on the sides and in midfield, De Zerbi's priority. So, is it worth investing that much in Ordonez? Or would we be better off sharing the funds to strengthen multiple positions? This is the kind of dilemma being discussed in every bar in the Old Port!

Jonathan Rowe, the Inevitable Sacrifice?

To afford Ordonez, we're starting to hear that Jonathan Rowe might be sacrificed. Rowe, he's been brilliant in preparation and has already won over quite a few supporters. But with a value of 20 million, he's attracting attention in Turkey and Italy. Is selling an offensive mainstay to reinforce defense really the right plan? We know some of you are already grumbling about this. So, Rowe leaving to make room for Ordonez, are you buying or not?

Three Weeks to Wrap Everything Up: Big Pressure for Longoria!

The reality is that there are only three short weeks left until the market closes. We have to juggle between sporting ambitions and economic realities, as always. The staff is confident about attracting the targeted profiles, but it's going to take cunning and quick responses if we want to see Ordonez posing with the scarf. In your opinion, will we make it, or is it mission impossible? Share your predictions in the comments, and above all, stay tuned: it's likely to heat up in Marseille right up to the end!
