The crazy rumor about the supposed interest of Olympique de Marseille for Neymar is growing.
Roberto de Zerbi can be satisfied. “Now we need other recruits. I have nothing to blame my leaders, the transfer window is difficult. The next few days will be important in terms of arrivals, “he said after the victory of his troops against Girone on Saturday.
And after CJ Egan-Riley (22) and Angel Gomes (24), who arrived free, as well as Facundo Medina (26), torn from the RC Lens, two new reinforcements are indeed in the process of joining Olympique de Marseille. And not least since OM is about to welcome Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Igor Paixao, for which the sky and white would be ready to pay 35 million euros.
But another name agitated Marseille for several days, that of Neymar. At the end of last week, the Spanish site Fichajes revealed that the Olympian leaders were in contact with the entourage of the Brazilian playmaker in order to discuss his transfer to OM.
Rumor confirmed in Argentina
If he recently extended his contract with Santos until June 2025, the former Barcelona would think of leaving Brazil to find Europe for the next World Cup. The interest of the Marseille club would therefore constitute a boon for the native of Santos.
And the rumor gained momentum on Monday, when Tycsports, famous Argentinian media, said that OM had become best placed to recruit Neymar despite its historical rivalry with PSG. “The return of Neymar to Santos does not take place as hoped for by the two parties: the club is in relegation zone and the Brazilian star is criticized by supporters for his performance on the field and some of his actions outside”, explained the Argentinian media, adding: “To appease the situation, he could leave the club, and the favorite to get attached to his services is Olympique de Marseille. »»
