Alexis Sanchez, you have to look at his history, he has won in all the countries where he has played… – Longoria
At a press conference this Wednesday for the presentation of Jonathan Clauss, Ruben Blanco, Nuno Tavares and Luis Suarez, Pablo Longoria was also questioned on the continuation of the recruitment at Olympique de Marseille, the arrival of Alexis Sanchez and in particular on the bad buzz around the probable arrival of Jordan Veretout.
“Veretout, is he doomed? I can also make assumptions about things… Naturally in life, you have to have values. A rumour, social networks… Is it morally acceptable? We are happy with our Mercato. We have more players than necessary, we would like to have 22 players with 2 goalkeepers. We need players. You also have to get a few out. Some are getting closer… It’s open until 31/08. Veretout is a very high level player. Alexis Sanchez, you have to look at his history, he has won in all the countries where he has played… They are players under contract with other clubs and we have to respect them” Paul Longori – Source: Press conference (03/08/22)

Mercato OM: Does Duje Caleta-Car already know where he will play next season?
The Croatian defender would have made the decision to stay at OM this summer. At the end of the contract in 2023, he could leave freely in a year.
Recruited in 2018 for 19 million euros, Duje Caleta-Car was placed on the transfer list this summer. At the end of the contract in a year, the Croatian would have chosen to go against the will of his leaders and to stay at the club. While Frank McCourt would have summoned Pablo Longoria to make sales before the end of the transfer window, the former Salzburg player would not intend to leave Marseille.
The Croatian international hopes to experience the same situation as last season when he managed to join the starting lineup and never leave it. The daily L’Équipe indicates that Caleta Car intends to complete his contract in order to join another club freely next summer. A path that risks bringing back bad memories for the Olympian club which had refused an offer of 26 million from Liverpool for its defender at the start of 2021. The choice of Caleta-Car also recalls that of Boubacar Kamara, who went free this summer at Aston Villa.

The short list of Caleta Car in Monchi
Indeed the Spanish club is preparing after Koundé. The French international defender should be transferred for a figure close to 60 M€, several clubs including Chelsea and FC Barcelona are in the running. Suddenly, Monchi is looking for a replacement and the name of Caleta Car is in a good position.
According to information from Todofichajes, “Duje Caleta-Car is one of the most loved names within the club and more specifically its sporting director, Monchi. The Croatia international has been doing very well for Marseille for some time, coming close last summer to packing his bags for the Premier League. » Longoria would be ready to transfer him for an amount close to €10m. Contacts with Sevilla have already taken place and the operation will only take place after Koundé leaves.

Salzburg wanted to get rid of Caleta Car because he was slow — Zubar
“Caleta Because I was not a fan at all to be honest (…) Salzburg wanted to get rid of him because he was slow, it was the feedback I had internally (…) That said, we must recognize, he fought at the start of the season when we wanted him to leave, he didn’t leave, he didn’t give up, he did a favor, he was good until recently when he’s been 2.3 games a little below. I find that in what the coach asked for, he transmitted this calm to you, to start from behind, not panic, I’m not a fan but I thought he was good lately. That’s why if we can sell it this summer…” Ronald Zubar – Source: Football Club Marseille (02/05/2022)
Mercato: This striker opens the door to leaving OM!
With the arrival of Luis Suarez at OM, the horizon darkens for Cédric Bakambu. The Marseille management would not be against parting with their Congolese international.
Not sure of benefiting from a starting place, Cédric Bakambu is already on the start, seven months after his arrival in Marseille. The Congolese striker is announced with insistence on the side of Celta Vigo. The daily L’Équipe indicates that the negotiations between the two formations have started but that the Spanish formation would not be ready to put in the 7 million requested by the Olympian management.
On the Marseille side, we are trying to free ourselves from his big salary (250,000 euros per month). The two formations have already collaborated for the transfer of Ruben Blanco and could quickly find an agreement. Cédric Bakambu would not take a dim view of a departure from Marseille. Barred in attack by Luis Suarez, Arkadiusz Milik and by the probable arrival of Alexis Sanchez, the future of the Congolese striker seems to be written far from Marseille.

Bakambu tracked by Celta Vigo
Cédric Bakambu would be, according to the media Morrazzo, on the shelves of Celta Vigo. The Spanish club hopes to recruit a striker and would also track former Lyon player Mariano Diaz, barred at Real Madrid. Provence confirms that the OM player is followed by Vigo and that he would not be retained by management.
With his imposing salary and rather disappointing results on the field, Bakambu could give way to Alexis Sanchez who is increasingly close to Olympique de Marseille according to the Italian media. He should sign with OM for two seasons.
👤 Will Cédric Bakambu leave OM this summer? The Congolese striker is announced in the viewfinder of Celta Vigo by the Iberian media Morrazzo, information confirmed by La Provence. Who ensures that the Marseille club is not closed to the idea of a departure for the 31-year-old player.

Whether it’s Longoria or Ribalta, to make the transfer window, it’s great – Grégoire
“Pablo Longoria considers Javier Ribalta to be one of his references in football, he said in an interview in Provence in December 2020. A reference with Fabio Paratici the former sports director of Juventus, today of Tottenham. Ribalta is his friend, I think he surrounds himself, he has improved his close guard, I think Ribalta will take care of sales in particular. We have seen that he is already very active on the Luis Henrique file at Torino with his Italian networks, because we have to get out of the players, I think he will relieve Longoria of certain tasks but afterwards in the profile indeed we’re on something quite similar, focused on Longoria, but maybe Longoria thinks he has a lot to do as president, he doesn’t really like that, interviews, meetings with Benoît Payan, rent is not his favorite area. Longoria thinks that Ribalta could come back to the heart of the work like the architecture of the deals, stuff like that. Personally I think it’s modern football. I compare Longoria to Luis Campos (technical director of PSG) and Ribalta is a bit like that too, they have their qualities and their faults. Their qualities are that they will bet sometimes on a player who is going to have an explosion, on a very great talent, besides that, they are managers of the new generation who work a lot with mandates, with always the same agents with commissions, it’s the Campos side in Lille, we saw it with the transfer of Victor Osimhen where there are things poorly explained. In my opinion, there are good and bad sides, I do not judge that, I just say that it corresponds to modern football. But, whether it’s Longoria or Ribalta, to make the transfer window, it’s great, they are specialists but there are good and bad sides. » Mathieu Gregoire – Source: Marseille Football Club (06/27/2022)
