On paper, the operation was suddenly perfect and was enough to make Marseille supporters salivate. As revealed by L’Equipe, the duo Pablo Longoria and Javier Ribalta are working behind the scenes to offer OM Hall Moffithe current second top scorer in Ligue 1 behind Kylian Mbappé. The objective is to recruit a striker likely to support Alexis Sanchez on the front of the Olympian attack.
Encouraged by the madness of Igor Tudor’s band in the league and in the cup (8 consecutive victories), the Marseille management obviously wants to bring new blood to the attack, especially following the terrible performance of Bamba Dieng once morest Rennes in the Coupe de France. Seriously tackled by his coach, the Senegalese international striker completely missed his match. The idea is therefore simple for the Marseille duo: find a way to make an effective financial arrangement to recruit Moffi by including Bamba Dieng in the operation.
OM offer a Bamba Dieng + money deal once morest Terem Moffi
The number 12 of OM, who scored during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and who was very close to joining… Nice in the last hours of the transfer window, is ready to join Brittany by January 31. Remember also that it was on the shelves of Hakes last summer, but that the deal might not be completed. But in football nothing is simple and we cannot say that the planets benefit from a favorable alignment. On the one hand, Loïc Fery is currently uncompromising for his 23-year-old Nigerian striker. He only wants a firm offer of at least €25 million and refuses to consider anything else. On the other hand, the Super Eagle, who have refused approaches from West Ham, Everton and Southampton, only want to hear from Nice. This is his priority and he does not intend to change his mind for the moment.
8 days from the end of the transfer window, here is a situation that is unprecedented to say the least. Nice seems to still have control over the Moffi file. But the intrusion of Olympique de Marseille into the operation might force the Riviera club to significantly increase its offer (the last was €17m + €3m in bonuses) to secure the signing of a player who absolutely wants come to the gym. As for Bamba Dieng (22), he already has an agreement with Lorient for a transfer this winter and might therefore leave La Canebière in the next few days following having considered extending his lease at OM… Business to follow.
