According to José Anigo, the coach-sports director of OM, the team does not require a new striker during the transfer window to replace Jordan Ayew, who was loaned to Sochaux. He emphasized that the team has what it needs and cannot afford additional signings. Anigo acknowledged that there are needs on the exterior and expressed the desire to have more competition. The name of Daniel Oparé from Standard Liège has been mentioned, but competition for the player is expected, with Lille also expressing interest. Currently in 6th place with 29 points, OM faces the challenge of securing more points in the competitive league led by Paris Saint-Germain.
