Mercato OM: Longoria’s plan to sign a Spanish nugget

For a few days now, OM has been dreaming of Sergio Gomez. Marseille management would even have a plan to complete its signature.

OM Mercato: Pablo Longoria rushes on Sergio Gomez

This is one of the priorities of the Olympique de Marseille. While Jordan amavi no longer fits into Jorge Sampaoli’s plans, Marseille leaders are already working behind the scenes to bring in a new quality left side in Marseille. Several avenues have been activated in this direction and one of them leads to Sergio Gomez, from the Anderlecht club.

A real sensation in the Belgian championship, the Spanish left-back achieves an impressive season goal by recording 5 goals scored and 6 assists, in all competitions. Such performances inevitably attract envy. LOSC, Stade Rennais, Manchester United and Everton are added contenders for the 21-year-old in the long run. But according to information from DH Sports +, it is OM that has taken a long lead over its competitors.

OM leaders wish to engage the services of Sergio Gomez from the opening of the next winter transfer window and have already started the first maneuvers for his arrival in Ligue 1. This possible transaction will necessarily be expensive, because Anderlecht expects to receive a nice check before giving up its Spanish nugget.

Sales to finance the recruitment of Sergio Gomez

The MO will therefore have to find the necessary funding to recruit Sergio Gomez. And this undoubtedly involves the sale of a good number of Marseille players. President Pablo Longoria was clear on this point, it will be necessary to sell in order to replenish the funds of the club which are in the red. A list of players likely to leave the Phocaean ship has even already leaked to the press. The names of Leonardo balerdi, Jordan Amavi and Luis Henrique are cited. These three players, lacking playing time under the orders of Jorge Sampaoli, are not guaranteed to spend the winter in Marseille. OM hope to receive a nice check on their possible departure. The objective of this downsizing would therefore be to finance the recruitment of the Spanish nugget.
