Zapping But! Football Club OM: top 10 most capped players in history
The Marseillais were able to verify it exactly a month ago during Reims-OM (1-2): Folarin Balogun is very strong. At only 21 years old, the English striker with 18 goals in Ligue 1 had opened the scoring that evening at Delaune, hit the post and had posed a constant threat to the Marseille defense, which had done well. He had also caught the eye of Pablo Longoria, who knows, however, that this is a very complicated file. Impossible to recruit him since Arsenal, with whom he is under contract until 2025, is asking for at least 40 M€. And difficult to get him on loan given the list of his courtiers (Inter, Milan, Napoli, Burnley, German clubs…).
He wants to start next season
But transfer specialist Ignazio Genuardi, who takes stock of this issue, has given the Phocaeans some hope: Balogun’s priority for 2023-24 is to start. Which should be the case if OM recruit him, especially if Alexis Sanchez leaves. And what will not be the case at Arsenal and probably in Milan clubs. That would make less competition, even if there is still a lot of it. In any case, with this new deal, OM has good reason to regain hope for this very promising recruitment!
