Olympique de Marseille is on all fronts. Coming off a grueling season where the Marseille club finished in a disappointing 8th place in Ligue 1, depriving it of participation in a European Cup, OM remains no less ambitious for the coming season. Determined to return to the forefront, the Olympian team has put in double the effort in the summer transfer window, particularly in the quest for an offensive reinforcement, while waiting to learn more about the future of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who is being courted in Saudi Arabia.

With this in mind, Olympique de Marseille took advantage of the arrival of Roberto De Zerbi, made official a few days ago on the Olympique bench, to sound out the market in England. As we revealed exclusively on July 10, OM has launched the process regarding Eddie Nketiah, Arsenal’s luxury joker interested in the idea of ​​crossing the Channel to join the Canebière. But that’s not all since the Olympique team has also set its sights on Mason Greenwood.

OM looks at Simon Adingra

With a successful 2023-2024 season with the Spanish club Getafe (10 goals and 6 assists in 36 games), the English striker will not be retained by Manchester United who want to sell him at a good price. If the track leading to the player belonging to the Red Devils has gained momentum in recent days to the point that a total agreement has been reached for his arrival, the deal is still far from being concluded, especially since other clubs have entered the race for the English international like Naples. To prepare for any eventuality, OM has therefore moved forward on a parallel track.

According to The Sunit is Simon Adingra, a 22-year-old winger who had the chance to play under Roberto De Zerbi when he was still at Brighton last year. The Italian coach is particularly fond of the profile of the Yamoussoukro native, African champion with Ivory Coast, and has even already spoken with his representatives to study the possibility of a transfer according to the details of the British tabloid. But given the potential of Simon Adingra, who appeared 31 times for 6 goals in the Premier League last season with the Seagulls, Brighton may be greedy.
