Marseille seeks to retain players amid financial scrutiny

Summary

Olympique de Marseille is exploring options to retain key players Facundo Medina, Timothy Weah, and Amine Gouiri while facing financial challenges. The club’s financial management is under the scrutiny of the DNCG, which confirmed that their transfer activities will be closely monitored. Marseille aims to tighten its budget following a period of overspending under coach Roberto De Zerbi, and although the desired trio has potential, strong offers may lead to their sale. Marseille failed to qualify for the next UEFA Champions League, prompting the club to reassess its roster and financial strategy this summer.
