Team newspaper talks about the transfer trends of Marseille: Rabiot incident triggers turmoil, more than ten players are for sale

August 21, France's "League" wrote an article about the latest transfer trends in Marseille, saying that the Rabiot incident caused turmoil in the locker room, and there are currently more than a dozen players on the team for sale. In early August, Marseille management was also glad that it had a few weeks to make the final lineup adjustments and deal with unpopular players. However, important transfer matters have been delayed to this day, and coupled with the impact of the Rabiot incident, the club has once again fallen into a state of emergency. Now there are only about ten days left before the transfer window is closed.

First, Marseille will find the next home for the two expelled players, namely Lovi and Rabiot. Lovi was listed on the transfer list before the fight, and according to Italian media reports, Bologna has the most hope to sign the 22-year-old England striker, although Marseille may not be able to get the expected gains from the deal.

As for the 30-year-old Rabiot, although there are many suitors (AC Milan, Saudi team, etc.), the question is what price will Marseille sell him and whether all parties can reach an agreement. The management’s idea is that the two transfer fees will be used to address other needs, and the club is looking for a centre-back and a left-back in addition to the midfield core that must be replaced.

In the central defender position, the main target is Bruges' Ecuador international Odognez, who is eager to join Marseille, and the player's value is close to 30 million euros. Inter defender Paval may be another option. At the left-back position, Marseille is considering loaning an experienced player, such as Liverpool's Zimikas.

On the other hand, there are nearly ten players in the Marseille team that need to leave, and some players (Blanco, Met, Onashi, Mubana) were transferred to the reserve team at the beginning of the season. Among them, Onashi is negotiating with Panathinaikos and he is expected to leave the team.

Other players were notified to leave the team later. For example, Lilola, who is more popular in Spain and Italy; Conelus, Alaves, has not fulfilled his interest recently; Armin Harriet, is pursued by Saudi teams; and Mope, who missed the game against Rennes, and many French clubs are interested in him.
