Who will keep the OM goal during the coming season? The answer is slow in coming.
In September 2021, Pau Lopez became the starting goalkeeper for Marseille OlympicsA small revolution within the Marseille club since Steve Mandanda, who has since left for Stade Rennais, found himself on the substitutes’ bench.
Even though the Spanish goalkeeper has retained this status,
it has never been unanimous. A way out had even been found for him, on the Côme side, with a loan including a purchase obligation of five million euros. However, the Marseille leaders waited too long, wanting first to ensure the recruitment of his successor.
Wellenreuther, the most credible option for OM?
Bottom line: the unwanted Pau Lopez is still in the Phocaean city and the arrival of a new last bulwark is at a standstill according to The Team. The track leading to Timon Wellenreuther, 28-year-old German goalkeeper, would be activated. However, his club Feyenoord would still hesitate between the possibility of selling him or propelling him to a starting position for next season. Other tracks have therefore been activated by president Pablo Longoria and his sports advisor Mehdi Benatia.
While waiting to finalize this thorny issue, OM continues its preparation. The Marseille club followed up with a second victory in a row in a friendly match, last Saturday, against Pau FC (3-0), a team that plays in Ligue 2. Three days earlier, they had dominated Toulon, by the same score. Saturday, Roberto De Zerbi’s men will challenge Sunderland.
