OM: Sampaoli persists and signs on the end of the transfer window – Top Mercato.com

Jorge Sampaoli does not budge. During a press point organized this Friday, two days before the Olympique de Marseille match in Nice, which will conclude the third day of Ligue 1, the Argentine coach reiterated his position on the summer transfer window.

The Marseille coach confirmed that the club was working on the arrival of new elements, before August 31. “As I said before, our team is under construction, with players arriving recently. The workforce is not yet complete. This is also worrying because when the workforce is complete, it will be necessary to develop the transitions between defense and attack. There is more risk taking in high block than in low block. I try to reinforce the defensive principles, which will allow us to be less vulnerable than the two previous games. There are four to five players missing from the workforce. We will target the priorities to find out what is economically feasible. When the squad is reinforced, I hope this week we will have the opportunity to see what profile we need on the pitch. “

The Bouches-du-Rhône club must register the arrival of Pol Lirola in the coming hours. After intense negotiations with Fiorentina, Olympique de Marseille have reached an agreement for the final transfer of the Spanish right-back, loaned by Viola during the second part of the 2020-2021 season, for the sum of 13 million euros.
