Since Faris Moumbagna was injured in the first Ligue 1 match in Brest on August 17, Olympique de Marseille was looking for a replacement for the Cameroonian. Pablo Longoria’s management was looking for an option rather low costtherefore not requiring a significant investment after all the big checks that have already been signed throughout the summer.
Several names were mentioned, but the Phocéens finally decided in favor of Neal Maupay. According to our information, the player will arrive in the south of France during the day. The Everton striker will be loaned for a season, with a mandatory purchase option of 4 million euros.
De Zerbi has his new striker
When it is lifted next summer, the 28-year-old Frenchman will be tied to Olympique de Marseille until 2028. Recruited by the Liverpool club for 12 million euros only two years ago, he will never have managed to impose himself there. Last year, he was also loaned to Brentford, where he scored 6 goals and provided 3 assists in 31 Premier League matches.
He will therefore try to relaunch himself with Marseille, he who left France in 2017. The player trained at OGC Nice has not played with the Toffees this season, and he has even been attacked by his supporters. Roberto De Zerbi recovers an experienced player, who has scored 33 goals in 160 Premier League matches and who was keen to join the Phocaean city.
