A new face appeared at OM yesterday near the Aube stadium. This is Ruslan Malinovskyi. The Ukrainian played his first minutes in his new colors, just a few days after landing in Marseille in the form of a loan with an option to buy estimated between 10 and 12 M€. The Marseille transfer window does not stop there. Management must manage the thorny case of Mattéo Guendouzi, courted by Aston Villa, and Ajax’s upcoming offensive on Leonardo Balerdi. According to our information, an offer of €20 million is about to be sent.
Pablo Longoria is not a seller, but up to what price? Another unexpected file has already appeared on the office of the Marseille president. The name of Pol Lirola (25 years old) returns to the front of the stage. The Marseille fans had probably forgotten him a little, he who was loaned at the start of the season to Elche in La Liga. The Spaniard plays sparingly (9 games in all competitions, 1 goal) but above all his club is dead last and almost already condemned to the descent. The Franjiverdes have not won a single match in 16 days…
Lirola in the heart of a three stripe blow
We can easily understand the desires of the players who make up the squad. This is also the case of Lirola, which is at the heart of negotiations between three clubs: OM, Elche and Monza, current 15th in Serie A. According to information from Sky Sports in Italy, contacts are taking place at this very moment to break the player’s loan with the Spanish club, so that he can be immediately re-loaned with an option to buy, but this time on the side of Lombardy. The right side has already given the green light to this operation.
For the Padlock Ser, it is even Elche who would like to get rid of him because the player does not meet expectations. A replacement has already been found with the loan of José Angel Carmona until the end of the season. Lirola knows the Italian league well, having played for Juventus, Sassuolo and Fiorentina. He retains a good rating there, despite less convincing performances over the months in Marseille. His debut, when he was only on loan at the time, had been noticed, before lowering his foot, once definitively transferred (he is still under contract until 2026 in Marseille).
