Duje Caleta-Car likely to be sold as the main market value, William Saliba returning to Arsenal next summer, Alvaro Gonzalez who is no longer in the plans of Jorge Sampaoli … OM will see his sector defensive strongly turned upside down and is activated in this direction to attract reinforcements. According to L’Équipe, two players are in the sights of Pablo Longoria, the president of the Marseille club.

The first is called Samuel Gigot. Spartak Moscow player since 2018, the French central defender, also appreciated by Jorge Sampaoli, expires on June 30, 2022. If the sports daily explains that an extension of the main party in Russia is not to be ruled out, the player trained in Arles-Avignon wishes at all costs to return to France according to the same source. But in this file, OM is not alone and will have to fight against the competition: OL, Nice or Lille are interested in the profile of the 28-year-old right-hander.

The second is called Sead Kolasinac. Also at the end of his contract on June 30, the Bosnian left side should leave Arsenal this summer in all likelihood. However, the track leading to the 28-year-old – revealed by the English press a few days ago – does not yet seem very successful on the side of OM. “The Olympian staff has already discussed with the player’s entourage but certain details seem delicate to settle”, indeed specifies the sports daily.
