On the other hand he did not confirm the return of Lirola, nor the departure of Benedetto…

“We have a team that is still in training with new players. We do not yet have a full workforce. We are trying to strengthen some defensive concepts to be less in danger in the future. (…) When we analyze the match, we see more things. We left the ball in Bordeaux in the second half and we took both goals. When the team is no longer the protagonist, we saw that it was putting itself in danger. (…) It will be a complicated match. It’s a big challenge for me as a coach, but also for the players. Nice are in great shape and will certainly try to do like Lille last season. ” Jorge Sampaoli – source: Press conference (08/20/2021)

Not confirmed for Lirola nor Benedetto – Sampaoli

“Regarding Pol Lirola, he was very good with us. His arrival is not confirmed. For Pippa, this is not confirmed on our side. But if so, there is a lot to see to know which profile to take to replace it. Regarding Milik, we will have to see the doctor. Four or five players are missing in the workforce. I hope that next week I will have a full squad… ” Jorge Sampaoli – source: Press conference (08/20/2021)

Lirola’s flight canceled?

Pol Lirola should make a comeback on the side of Olympique de Marseille! After several weeks of fierce negotiations between OM and Fiorentina, the Spaniard will indeed continue his career in Marseille. Indeed, the two clubs have agreed on a staggered transfer amounting to 13 million euros. While OM had no right-back in their workforce, his arrival should allow Jorge Sampaoli to have a more complete and balanced group on the ground.

While Sky Sports revealed last night that his medical visit was scheduled for today, a slight unforeseen has appeared in recent minutes. According to the Twitter account @ Massilia1978, Pol Lirola’s flight would have been postponed since his flight was canceled. Initially scheduled for around 2:30 p.m. on the Marignane side, the Spaniard should therefore be delayed a little longer … If the reason for this postponement has not been communicated, there should in theory be no impact on his transfer to France. ‘OM since the two clubs have agreed on the final details of the transaction yesterday evening.

In addition, OM has even already entered into a contractual agreement with Pol Lirola since a 5-season contract awaits him. After being convincing during his loan in the second part of the season, there is no doubt that the wait is even longer. Like Pol Lirola, Olympian supporters are impatient and are just waiting for him to come. In recent weeks, Pol Lirola has continued to affirm his desire to join only OM. He even proved it by declining two proposals including one from Atalanta Bergamo. Journalist Alfredo Pedullà tweeted:“I said from here tonight in Marseille. If they told you something else, I can’t answer them … ” End of the soap opera tonight?

Arrival of @lirola_kosok postponed. Canceled flight initially scheduled for 2:30 p.m. to Marignane. I don’t know more for the moment … #TeamOM #MercatOM

At a press conference last month, Pablo Longoria was questioned about the Pol Lirola case. He has never hidden his desire to keep the Spanish right-back this season.

“When we analyze our workforce, we are short at the right-back position. It is obvious. For Pol Lirola, we talked and we discussed. He left a very good image here with a very high level for his adaptation in the French championship. He finished the season very well with us. We would be happy to have a player like Pol back in our squad. Here in Marseille, he had a perfect adaptation, he loves the club and the city. But afterwards, it is always a question of transfer window that we must respect because he remains under contract with a third club ” Pablo Longoria – Source: Press conference (07/13/21)

Micky Van de Ven is getting closer to OM?

In recent hours, the transfer window is accelerating on the side of Marseille. After having recorded the departure of Dario Benedetto and the next arrival of Pol Lirola in the last 24 hours, OM are far from having finished their market in the direction of arrivals as in the direction of departures. And in the coming days, the Marseille club could register a new start. Indeed, Duje Caleta-Car could soon pack up. The Croatian defender is considered one of the most “bankable” players in the squad. Several clubs would be interested in his profile including West-Ham who would have even formulated an offer of 14 million euros + 3 million bonus. Pablo Longoria would wait at least 20 million euros to part ways with his defender. To replace him, OM would be close to recruiting Micky Van de Ven.

Indeed, RMC Sport announced a few days ago that Micky Van de Ven would be on the verge of being recruited by OM in central defense. The young defender, who plays for FC Volendam in the Dutch second division, is considered one of the most sought-after center-backs in Europe. Shortly after, La Provence even revealed that Pablo Longoria had made an offer of 800,000 euros to try to secure his services. An offer refused by the Dutch club. The Telegraaf even mentioned that Micky Van de Ven would even have gone to Marseille alongside his father and his agent, Mino Raiola to try to find an agreement, ten days ago.

According to the information revealed by NH Nieuws, the Dutch defender is indeed linked to a transfer to Olympique de Marseille next season. The Marseille club would be the best placed on the file to welcome Micky Van de Ven this season. It remains to be seen how OM intends to come to an agreement with FC Volendam in the coming days …

According to @NHNieuws, young FC Volendam defender Van de Ven is reportedly close to signing for#OM.https://t.co/zuq21puuxG

THE MERCATO IS NOT ENDED – LONGORIA

At the end of the meeting with Villarreal on July 31, Pablo Longoria spoke about the transfer window. The Olympian president had announced that the transfer window was far from over in the direction of departures as in the direction of arrivals. While Pol Lirola is about to arrive, Micky Van de Ven could follow him soon!

“The transfer window over? No, it’s open until August 31st. You always have to be attentive and do things according to the strategy. We have a very concrete plan of the situation, we said at a press conference that we still need a few players to complete the team. Our goal is to have two players per position. This is not our case but the transfer window is still open ” Pablo longoria – Source: Canal + (07/31/21)
