Marseille's OM is preparing to recruit new players this winter, aiming to turn around its fortunes after a stagnant summer transfer window.
New players expected for OM
The Olympique de Marseille (OM) is reportedly preparing to finalize the recruitment of three new players this winter, following a summer transfer window that brought no new signings. This move is seen as a potential turning point for the club.Journalist outlines OM's plans
According to journalist Jean-François Pérès, who participated in a live session with La Tribune Olympienne, a new OM could emerge this season. Pérès noted that Frank McCourt, the club’s owner, is expected to welcome new investors to help relaunch the club.Key deadline approaching
Pérès mentioned that the OM hopes to announce good news before the meeting with the DNCG, a crucial deadline in December. He added that a lot of work is being done in that direction, though nothing is guaranteed.No immediate sale of the club
Pérès also stated that he does not see McCourt selling the club in the medium term but rather welcoming new investors. This scenario could allow the Olympians to stand out on the transfer market, after having sold many players this summer without signing any recruits.Financial goals and sporting director's focus
The club must get out of the red this winter to finally be able to invest again, Pérès confirmed. He also mentioned Grégory Lorenzi's ambitions as the new sporting director of the OM.Uncertain reinforcements
Frustrated by the course of events since his arrival in Marseille, Grégory Lorenzi is reportedly focused on reinforcing Bruno Genesio's team. It was reported that two or three player profiles are already targeted and agreed to come to the OM. However, all of this remains very uncertain at the moment.
