A downward revision of the salary scale is expected, which could result in several key players departing this summer. Sofiane Diop, who is one of the squad's highest-paid players, could be among those who depart.

Sofiane Diop from Nice is one of the options being considered by the Marseille management. Diop was not selected by Morocco for the Africa Cup of Nations. He can play centrally or on either wing, most often on the left, but also on the right, a position where OM is seeking a backup for Mason Greenwood.
