OM: Already a headache for Tudor versus Angers?
After receiving a new yellow card against Rennes this Sunday, Nuno Tavares will be suspended for the trip to Angers after the international break.
Alerted by Mr. Bastien this Saturday against Rennes (1-1), Nuno Tavares will not take part in the next match of the OM in Ligue 1.1, he will have to do without the Portuguese left, who received his third yellow card from ‘ start of the championship. Igor Tudor doesn’t have another left piston specialist in the squad. Although Sead Kolasinac has often played in this position at Arsenal, he has been more comfortable with him since the start of the season in the three-man defense. The Croatian coach could choose to line up Jonathan Clauss on the left wing of the defense and place Issa Kaboré in his place on the right (or vice versa). A new puzzle in perspective for Igor Tudor …

“With my agents we have always wanted a purchase option but …”
Scorer of three Ligue 1 goals for Olympique de Marseille since the start of the season, Nuno Tavares is making a promising start with the Marseille club. The Portuguese defender was once again very moving against Rennes this Sunday at the Stade Vélodrome (1-1). The 22-year-old defender had explained on RMC that he would have preferred a purchase option to be integrated into his loan, but that he was still happy and determined to succeed in Marseille.
“With my agents we always wanted a buy option, but Arsenal didn’t want there to be one. We wanted there to be one. But it’s no longer important, I’m in Marseille, and with or without an option I’m happy . ” Nuno Tavares – source: RMC (02/09/2022)
OM Market: Return Saliba, Longoria has tried everything but …
After a season spent with the OM colors, William Saliba has returned to Arsenal. Pablo Longoria did his best to bring the French defender back and even attempted a final approach at the end of the transfer window, in vain.
On loan to OM last season, William Saliba returned to London this summer. The French defender left a beautiful memory to the Marseille fans with a Champions League qualification acquired on the last day of the championship. Despite his new very high score on the market, Pablo Longoria has done everything to bring Saliba back to Marseille for another season. According to the information of the Italian journalist Luca Bendoni, a close collaborator of Gianluca Di Marzio, the Marseille president would have multiplied the exchanges with the 21-year-old defender’s agent in the hope of doing it at the OM, in vain …
“I’m at home here. I like London, I like the Club, ”says Arsenal central defender William Saliba about the possibility of a new contract. ⚪️🔴 #AFC

I am at home here
Undisputed starter last season with OM, Saliba’s successful performance at the club opened the doors to him for the French team just months before the World Cup. The 21-year-old defender has also turned a corner since his return to England. An essential part of Mikel Arteta’s system, he has already scored two goals since he returned to the Gunners. If the tricolor international has never hidden his intention to continue his adventure with Marseille, now he feels very happy at Arsenal. Long hoped for by supporters, a return to OM now seems totally impossible. The former AXA defender also made it known that he no longer has any intention of leaving the Gunners. “I’m at home here, I love London, I love this club. I like everything here, I feel at home”

“Saliba is the kind of Champions player you need”
In Débat Foot Marseille, Benjamin Courmes regretted the departure of William Saliba. He believes international is the style of player that OM should recruit to have a chance to shine in the Champions League.
On the recruits of the Champions I think we already have the answer, it is Sampaoli who has left. A priori Champions League players will not be there, otherwise there will be market opportunities, such as Mbemba. At the beginning we said to ourselves, yes Saliba if we can believe it even until the end, if ever he does not play at Arsenal he will want to come back. In fact, he is the kind of Champions player we can have, he is the player who will want to leave at the end of the transfer window, because he feels that he will not play, that in a few months there will be a World Cup. , he has to introduce himself. You have the free player who did not find it at the last moment and you are the one who will take it. But I don’t see OM putting 20, 30 million like OM putting on Gerson last year, even though there is actually a sale. Unless you sell Gerson ” Beniamino Courmes Source: Marseille Football Club (25/07/2022)
