Olympique de Marseille manages transfer strategy amid player departures

Olympique de Marseille is navigating a complex transfer window following the departure of goalkeeper Gerónimo Rulli to Manchester City. While initial reports suggested the club was pushing for a move for Standard de Liège goalkeeper Matthieu Epolo, valued at €8 million, some reports have since disputed the immediacy of this deal.

To fund new acquisitions, Marseille is considering the sale of key players. Leonardo Balerdi and Quinten Timber have been identified as potential candidates for sale to generate necessary capital. Conversely, the club appears committed to retaining Nayef Aguerd and Pierre-Emile Höjbjerg, with manager Bruno Genesio expressing a desire to keep the latter in the squad.
