If Valentin Rongier has been a hybrid right-back throughout the 2021-2022 season, he is much more comfortable in his role as central midfielder. In addition, the only professional side Pol Lirola has deeply disappointed this season after a successful 2020-2021 season.

Unlike the left-back position, Olympique de Marseille had far fewer problems for its right-wing counterpart. For a time, Hiroki Sakai held the Marseille house.

A necessary change?

Under Sampaoli, Pol Lirola achieved an excellent end to the 2020-2021 financial year. Impacting both defensively and offensively, he pushed the Marseille leaders to do everything to transform his loan into a definitive purchase. After long weeks of negotiations, the Spaniard officially becomes an Olympique de Marseille player and his performance deteriorates.
Quickly replaced by a Valentin Rongier in a role of right piston which transplants in the axishe will become nothing more than a shadow of himself and will wander from post to post.

With the departure of the Argentine coach, the cards are reshuffled and Valentin Rongier could find his place in a 3-man midfield. It is therefore logical that the Marseille leaders are trying to sign a right side during this summer transfer window.

A new international approaching

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Olympique de Marseille would have taken it into their heads to sign Lensois and neo-international Jonathan Clauss.

This player with an atypical profile is more than ever on the departure of RC Lens. His excellent performances under the blood and gold tunic and followed by big European clubs like Chelsea or Atletico Madridthe competition is likely to be tough for Marseille.

However, there are grounds for hope for Dimitri Payet’s teammates. In addition to playing the Champions League, the Marseilles would offer the native of Strasbourg a starting positiona strong argument ahead of the World Cup which will take place from November 21 to December 18 in Qatar.
