Marseille is taking their squad seriously in this season.
They have Greenwood, Rabiot, Paixao, Aubameyang, O'Riley, and Traore, now they sign Pavard. It's make sense they want to sign another quality defender because they often conceded, regardless the result is they win or lose.
Since they're qualified for Champions League, this also a reason why the top players want to play for Marseille.
This season, Marseille spent at least €79.70 million to sign at least 11 paid players, excluding free transfers, both those signed with transfer fees and those only on loan. Marseille's most successful arrival in this transfer window was Igor Paixão, a left winger from Feyenoord, with a transfer fee of €30.00 million, while the other players were just mid-range. However, they should have made Marseille even more powerful. Unfortunately, in these three matches, they only managed one win and lost the rest.
Source: Olympique MarseilleAfter seeing Marseille's summer signing list, I thought they'll give French defending champions Paris Saint Germaine a good run for their money but from what I've seen so far, it's obvious they'll not be able to do much when it comes to challenging for the French Ligue 1 this season.
If after all the major signings Marseille made this summer and still can't compete against PSG, who then will challenge the reigning champions? R is this going to be another
easily predictable campaign in the French league where we all already know the champion from the day the league kicked off?
