Guendouzi done and Saliba on the way

OM have embarked on an ambitious summer transfer programme that is the envy of many of their cash-strapped rivals

It was only six months ago that Marseille fans marched outside of the club’s La Commanderie training centre and rioted to such an extent that the grounds were set alight and hundreds of thousands of euros worth of damage was reportedly done.

This was one of the darkest days in the chequered history of OM, but it was also one that set events in motion that have led to a promising new dawn ahead of the 2021-22 campaign.

While Paris Saint-Germain have been making waves in the transfer window by adding the likes of Achraf Hakimi and Georginio Wijnaldum, with more big names to come, Marseille have been working feverishly away to put together a promising summer of their own.
