“The club is not closed to the idea of letting him go”
“I received feedback yesterday from his entourage and not from Benatia or OM. So regarding Marseille’s interest in Aguerd, it’s really a lead from Benatia, even if it was validated by Longoria.

It’s true that he’s a little injured but he’s really less in the coach’s idea of the game. There are others who pass in front of him and therefore the club is not closed to the idea of letting him leave,” he declared for Football Club de Marseille last week. Despite its enormous market value for a club like l’OM, Nayef Aguerd could be tempted to join the Phocaean city depending Zhouri.
“The deal could be done in the form of a loan”
“The game project could please him at OM level. Afterwards, it will depend on several factors. In any case for the moment, it’s just the beginnings of the track. The deal could initially be in the form of a loan, with an obligation to purchase or an option to purchase. It will depend. But hey, in a pinch, I think we can trust Longoria to negotiate. At the moment, I do not yet have all the information concerning this aspect of the deal,” added the Atlas Lions journalist. Perhaps the first big blow of Medhi Benatia has loon…
