Qualified for the next Champions League, the Marseille club has no choice but to present a competitive team for next season. Coach Jorge Sampaoli has set the tone by indicating that it was useless if the team was involved in this European competition just to make up the numbers.

For the return of the Marseille team in the Champions League, Jorge Sampaoli wants new blood. He has targeted Luis Muriel, the Colombian striker of Atalanta Bergamo, author of 59 goals in 127 matches for the Italian club. According to Sky Italia, the Marseille coach has made this player his priority in attack for the 2022-2023 season.

These predictions have not yet come true, so the American must disburse a lot of money to confirm his strong interest in Olympique Marseille.
