By The Marseille football team, OM, has strengthened their roster by making some calculated moves in the transfer market. Renan Lodi, who was obtained from Atlético de Madrid for a hefty sum of 13 million euros, is one remarkable acquisition. Although Lodi’s acquisition fills the need left by a full-back, it is not the only answer OM is looking for.
Nuno Tavares from Arsenal and Issa Kaboré from Manchester City returned from loan, and Sead Kolasinac left for Atalanta, leaving OM with just Jonathan Clauss as their sole reliable full-back. The management has been forced by this scarcity to hunt for further reinforcements in this vital position on both the left and right sides.
According to reports in the Italian media, OM has revived its interest in Dutch international Rick Karsdorp, 28, who has three caps to his name. Marseille and Karsdorp were previously associated during the winter transfer window, but no deal happened at the time. Karsdorp’s current deal with AS Roma has two years left, and he is willing to prolong his career in Europe despite interest from Saudi Arabia.
The pursuit of Karsdorp demonstrates OM’s desire to enhance their team even further, ensuring they have a wide range of choices and depth at full-back. With upcoming European championships, having a balanced and capable team is essential for success in the competitive football world.
As the transfer window closes, supporters of OM are anxiously following the happenings in the market and hope for more encouraging news. The executives of Marseille are aggressively recruiting players who can have an influence and greatly advance the team’s goals for the upcoming season.
All eyes are on Marseille as the transfer window nears its conclusion to see whether they can seal the deal for Karsdorp or any other prospective acquisitions. The supporters’ enthusiasm and eagerness for the start of the new season and the possible success it may bring with the reorganised and strengthened squad are tangible.
