Zapping Goal! soccer club OM: Should we give more responsibilities to Valentin Rongier?
Yesterday in Fos-sur-Mer, OM took a slap in the face against Norwich (0-3), relegated from the Premier League. And, of course, this has angered many supporters as the two teams are not at the same stage of preparation, as the Phocaeans are coming out of Italian-style physical preparation with Igor Tudor and the way of play is radically different from Jorge Sampaoli. But no matter, the people want recruits and Pablo Longoria will give them some.
The Marseille president has made good progress on two issues. First of all, the goalkeeper called to compete with Pau Lopez is now targeted. As announced, he plays in La Liga (Celta Vigo) but he is not Portuguese. This is Ruben Blanco, a 26-year-old Spaniard who studied in Galicia and an Iberian international in all categories up to Espoirs. Celta would be open to a loan, according to L’Equipe, but first want to have found a replacement for their holder. The other well advanced file is that of the right side. Lens having rejected a second offer for Jonathan Clauss, OM have reached an agreement with Nuno Tavares. Arsenal could release their Portuguese on loan once Zinchenko (who arrived from Manchester City) is operational but, according to Fabrizio Romano, club-to-club negotiations are not progressing very quickly.

to summarize
The president of OM, Pablo Longoria, and his staff continue to explore the transfer market. In particular, they have made good progress on two important files, those of the goalkeeper called to compete with Pau Lopez and the new right side.
