The transfer window closes tonight at 11 p.m. Pablo Longoria would like to complete an offensive rookie on condition that he sells one or two elements. This twelfth recruit will not, unless the situation turns around, Ruslan Malinovskyi.
Indeed, while an agreement was mentioned between OM and Ruslan Malinovskyi, his club Atalanta would be too greedy regarding his transfer. The player still has a contract until 2024 with an additional year as an option. RMC Sport confirms that OM have failed to reach an agreement with Atalanta, who are asking for a very significant transfer fee. In addition, the media specifies that at the “club, some people close to the file ensure that the track is abandoned. Others want to leave a tiny hope in case the last 24 hours of transfer window make Atalanta think. Anyway, Pablo Longoria would have activated his plan B, Amine Harit.

Harit plan B? Ready with Mandatory OA?
As Longoria had said, he is taking action for Harit… things are accelerating with OM!

The 25-year-old attacking midfielder has never hidden his desire to return to Marseille and still seems to be waiting for this possibility to arrive. Schalke 4 wants to part with it, a new loan but this time with a compulsory purchase option would be in the pipeline. Harit is also courted by Leicester, but according to La Provence, the player gives his preference to Marseille. To carry out this operation, it will be necessary to leave within the workforce.
A mandatory departure before?
Longoria needs to sell one or two items first. Dieng is courted by several L1 clubs (Lorient, Strasbourg), Caleta Car has touches in England. Other players who do not seem motivated by the idea of leaving could also change their minds, such as Balerdi followed by Bologna, or Bakambu absent from the score sheet yesterday and who has touches in Spain…
