Olympique de Marseille (OM) is indeed active in the final stretch of the transfer market, with notable developments reported by Africa Top Sports.com.
While there is still no news on the transfer of Florian Thauvin, who reportedly underwent a medical examination, OM has successfully secured the recruitment of Mario Lemina from Lorient. However, Christian Gourcuff, the coach of Lorient, has expressed his frustration and disappointment with the transfer, emphasizing that it undermines the club’s ambitions and reflects a lack of respect for his position and past contributions to Lorient.
Mario Lemina, born on September 1, 1993, in Libreville, Gabon, achieved success by winning the 2013 Under-20 World Cup with the French Under-20 team.
In addition to the Lemina acquisition, OM is reportedly interested in bringing in Sébastien Corchia from Sochaux. France Football suggests that OM full-back and Comoros international, Kassim Abdallah, could potentially be included in the deal, moving in the opposite direction.
These transfer activities highlight OM’s efforts to strengthen the squad for the upcoming season, and the negotiations and potential player movements are closely monitored as the transfer window approaches its closure.
