Bruno Genesio on OM departures after 4-0 Strasbourg win: up to five could leave | OneFootball

Bruno Genesio made a winning start as Marseille beat Strasbourg 4-0, then acknowledged that several players may depart before any arrivals.

Speaking to Ligue 1+, he said reducing the wage bill must come first and that signings will not happen until that is done. He added departures could involve three, four or five players, with one week left and this win perhaps offering more clarity.

OM opened their Ligue 1 season in style on Friday, and Genesio described it as a good start to life in charge.

Several starters may still move on. Pierre-Emile Höjbjerg, stripped of the captaincy and courted including by Newcastle, impressed and struck the fourth at 90+3.

Players with significant market value such as Igor Paixao and Amine Gouiri also started, and Marseille have yet to make a signing.
