Olympique de Marseille have been very active in the last transfer market. Many players arrived on loan (Cengiz Ünder, Pau Lopez, Mattéo Guendouzi, William Saliba). But in the direction of departures, some also wanted to go into exile to grab some playing time and show what they are capable of. A brief overview of the Olympian loans.
–
– Nemanja Radonjic (Benfica) : the Serbian winger, with the arrivals of Cengiz Ünder and Konrad de la Fuente, had his future blocked in the Marseille city. Already loaned to Hertha Berlin in the second half of last season, he was again asked to find a club. It was in Portugal that he started the season. On August 29, he will be on the bench without returning against Tondela, he will not start his season until he leaves 32 short minutes in Kiev in the Champions’ League. He will then be injured (two matches) then on the bench without entering (two matches) before pushing back the lawn (30 minutes against Trofense). Besides a goal against Guimarães, he will play very little. He has currently been injured for seven matches.
– Kevin Strootman (Cagliari) : The Dutch midfielder was one of Rudi Garcia’s priorities. He got a hefty salary and never really convinced on the meadow. As a result of the races, his salary became too big for his contribution. Last year, he was loaned to Genoa and rebel this season, but in Cagliari. He started the season well as a starter before suffering three injuries, the last of which took him away from the field since November 30 and a match against Hellas Verona. If it’s a little better than Nemanja Radonjic, it’s not yet a very profitable loan.
– Dario Benedetto (Elche) : the Argentinian was in difficulty at the Olympique de Marseille. In particular, he was going through a big crisis of confidence. At the end of the transfer window, he was loaned to Elche. He played a lot more than his aforementioned two buddies and even found the loophole on two occasions (against Celta Vigo and against Espanyol Barcelona). If he chained the matches before being placed on the bench twice (against Osasuna and Betis), he came back. Since two meetings, however, he is no longer in the team.
-Lucas Perrin (Strasbourg): he, on the other hand, is making his way. The OM defender had some small difficulties at the start of the season before taking up space and importance within Julien Stéphan’s system. ” Lucas Perrin? I rarely make individual comments after a meeting. This is his seventh consecutive game for us, he has played more in Strasbourg in five months than in three years in Marseille. It’s part of his learning “, He admitted recently. A nice statement before he comes back stronger, next summer, at OM?
– Alexandre Philiponeau (FC Sète) : he too was trained at the Olympique de Marseille. But the midfielder knew his future blocked, even more with the recruitments of Mattéo Guendouzi and Gerson. Of the sixteen possible matches, he played 10, gave an assist and a goal (in the same match against US Créteil). At 21, he was 56% in the starting lineup and played half the minutes. He also received three small yellow cards. Learning also takes place at lower levels.
– Pedro Ruiz (NEC Nimègue) : the Spanish striker was a small bet for Pablo Longoria. The Spanish U19 international played with the youngsters of Real Madrid and signed for Marseille before being loaned to the Netherlands. Since the start of the season, he has not been in the best conditions. He was able to play football just 73 minutes in three games, otherwise he was either on the bench without returning, injured or out of the squad. He scored well in a friendly, but that’s really little to discover professional football.
