OM Mercato: Eager to revolutionize its workforce this summer, Olympique de Marseille has returned to the charge for a MLS striker.
OM Mercato: Marseille is getting closer to Valentin Castellanos
Like jorge sampaoli recently admitted, the management of Olympique de Marseille is already preparing its next summer recruitment with a view to remaining very competitive next season. Indeed, the Olympians intend to give new impetus to their workforce, in particular by targeting young talents with strong potential. After Mohamed Ali-Cho of the SCO of Angers then Isaac Toure from Le Havre AC, the management of OM also plans to attract another jewel to perfect its offensive sector.
According to media information sports websitethe Marseille management is following with attention Valentin Castellanos, a true New York City FC sensation. Golden Boot of Major League Soccer last season, the 23-year-old Argentine striker continues his meteoric rise in the North American championship, already scoring 11 goals and 5 assists in 16 appearances in all competitions. Performances that would not have escaped the Marseille board.
Valentin Castellanos, a substantial prize for Marseille
It must be said that Olympique de Marseille is an old contender for Valentin Castellanos. The Marseille club had already tried to recruit him during the last summer transfer window, without success. This failure would not have dampened Marseille’s enthusiasm. After a first failed attempt, the source explains that OM plans to return to the charge for the Argentinian with new financial arguments. It remains to be seen whether this flashback will bear fruit.
For his part, Valentin Castellanos does not rule out a departure from Major League Soccer (MLS). He recently explained that he dreamed of continuing his career in Europe, which should suit OM’s business. But his price remains a major obstacle for his transfer. The American franchise would expect a check from 15 million euros before giving up his Argentinian goleador. A substantial amount for Olympian finances, which have been in the red for some time. Nevertheless, some player sales this summer could allow Olympique de Marseille to finance such a recruitment.
