Summer promises to be a busy one for Olympique Marseille. The Foxes, who finished fifth in Ligue 1, had a disappointing year last season and are looking to bounce back under new coach Bruno Genesio. At the moment, the Marseillais have not yet recruited players, as they have only exercised purchase options since last season.

On the other hand, Mason Greenwood (Fenerbahçe), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Deportivo La Corona), Hamed Junior Traore (Genoa) and Bilal Nadir (free) have already left the club. Finding themselves with limited resources compared to last season, Olympique Marseille will try to act and, according to our information, sporting director Gregory Lorenzi and his team have launched a file leading to Memphis Depay.

Depay demands too much
An experienced player who played in Ligue 1 between 2017 and 2021 for Lyon, Memphis Depay (32 years old) will be released within ten days with his club Corinthians. A contractual situation that facilitates the departure of the Moordrecht native within a few days. He is capable of playing as a central striker and attacking midfielder, as well as on the flanks. It has a universal profile.
However, this path, begun by the Marseilles, should not be crowned with success. Turning to the player’s entourage, the Marseille management came to the conclusion that the latter’s salary requirements were too high compared to what Olympique Marseille was willing to offer. The Marseille club, still looking for their first recruit, should go no further in this matter.
