Marseille ready to move despite tight finances after quiet window | OneFootball

Marseille’s transfer window has stalled after the on-off Nayef Aguerd move to Real Sociedad and Pierre-Emile Höjbjerg’s refusal to join Newcastle. According to L'Équipe, the club is preparing to act despite tight finances.

Bruno Genesio and Grégory Lorenzi are working within strict financial constraints as they shape OM’s squad.

Frank McCourt has repeatedly told his interlocutors, including Lorenzi, Genesio and Rachid Zeroual, the leader of the Winners, that Marseille must slim down and live more modestly for at least the next two seasons.

The sporting director and coach have pinpointed needs in goal, at centre-back, in midfield and on the right wing, but they continue to encounter the shareholder’s refusal. His stance remains blunt, “No, no and no”, cut back first.

The final days of the window promise to be intense.
