Following a disastrous season, no one at Marseille is safe. The failure to secure a spot in the Ligue des Champions already forced OM to tighten its financial belt, but the recent warning from UEFA has transformed this need into an urgent imperative. New sporting director Grégory Lorenzi is actively engaged on all fronts, striving to navigate this pivotal summer for the club effectively.

Greenwood’s potential departure from OM

The primary high-profile situation revolves around Mason Greenwood, a name on everyone’s lips. The 24-year-old winger, who has been Marseille’s top scorer over the past two seasons, appears poised for a move, with Fenerbahçe and particularly AS Roma reportedly keen on acquiring his talents. While Italian reports hinted at advanced negotiations with the Roman club, recent information suggests a significant setback. It seems OM was displeased by the conduct of La Louve‘s management, who allegedly made direct contact with the player before notifying his current club.

Is Højbjerg also set to leave?

However, as the Greenwood negotiations appear to stall, another significant transfer could be nearing resolution. Reports indicate that Atalanta is actively pursuing Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, aiming to persuade him to depart Marseille. He is reportedly a top priority for Cristiano Giuntoli, Atalanta‘s new sporting director, who previously attempted to sign him during his tenure at Juventus and is now eager to try again. The prospect of a transfer is not being ruled out; quite the opposite. The Bergamo-based newspaper asserts that OM has agreed to facilitate the departure of the Danish international, setting his minimum transfer valuation at 10M€.
