“My transfer to OM was complete”: He drops a bomb

During the last winter transfer window, recruiting a 9 was one of OM’s priorities. It was then done with the transfer of Vitinha from Braga. Other names had however circulated on the Canebière, like in particular that of Sardar Azmoun. The Iranian, however, remained at Bayer Lverkusen, but his arrival at OM was very topical.

With the departure of Bamba Dieng To Lorient in January, Alexis Sanchez is more than ever isolated at the forefront of the attack of theOM. Recruiting a goalscorer was then essential for Pablo Longoria. The Olympian president got busy during the winter transfer window, achieving his goals after studying several candidates for theOm.

OM thought of Azmoun

And so it is Vitinha who put down his suitcasesOM this winter. Recruited for 32M€ at Braga, the Portuguese has become the most expensive player in the history of the Marseille club. But Pablo Longoria was therefore not short of ideas and before leaning on VitinhaI’OM was also announced in the hit for Sardar Azmounthe Iranian goalscorer Bayer Leverkusen.

“The agreement was canceled at the last minute”

Between theOM And Sardar Azmoun, it didn’t happen in the end. However, the agreement had obviously been reached according to the statements of the Iranian attacker. Indeed, in an interview granted to the media of his national federation, Azmoun assured: My transfer to Olympique de Marseille was a done deal. Even my shirt number was chosen, the deal was canceled at the last minute and I stayed at Bayer Leverkusen “.
