Rumours, deals and smoke: the OM mercato decoded.
OM are in advanced talks with RB Leipzig for Lutsharel Geertruida, a versatile player highly motivated by the Marseille project. Deal well underway!
Bart Verhaeghe raises his voice again: to let Joël Ordóñez go, Bruges demands even more. With 48h left in the window, OM faces a wall of greed.
Adrien Rabiot’s break with OM looks final. His camp has opened talks with Milan, while Longoria stays firm: €15M or nothing.
Zhegrova wants OM, and OM wants Zhegrova. But LOSC and president Létang are turning up the heat. A standoff is on as the winger has already said yes to the Marseille project.
Derek Cornelius is set to join Rangers, giving OM leverage: space opened for defensive reinforcements like Ordoñez or Aguerd. The mercato enters its final sprint!
Emerson Palmieri has said yes to OM! Contract terms agreed, only West Ham left to convince. Longoria speeds up to replace Merlin.
It’s official: Hamed Junior Traoré joins OM on loan with an almost mandatory buy option (€8M + 50% resale). The Ivorian dynamo is tied to the club until 2030!
OM had agreed everything for Ordoñez, but Bruges moved the goalposts, now demanding €35M after Al-Hilal’s shadow loomed. The defender is furious — he no longer wants to play for his club.
It’s official: Edon Zhegrova has chosen OM! A full agreement has been reached with the LOSC winger until 2030. Despite Juventus, he’s coming to Marseille.
After the Ceballos failure, Rongier’s departure, Bennacer’s return to Milan, and the Rabiot saga, OM’s midfield is weakened. Longoria must act fast to arm De Zerbi.
