If the summer transfer window officially closed its doors on September 1, OM still has the opportunity to recruit a free player from any contract. A new blow to the Adrien Rabiot?

OM has experienced a particularly agitated summer with no less than 12 recruits recorded. A Dantesque transfer window which completely upset the Marseille workforce. However, if the market closed on September 1 at 8 p.m., Medhi Benatia has not yet said its last word. Indeed, as a year ago with Adrien Rabiot, the OM sports director can still bet on a formidable weapon: the market for free players.
An opportunity always open for OM
If classic arrivals are no longer possible, Marseille still has the possibility of strengthening its workforce thanks to players without contract. This is exactly what happened last year, when OM managed to attract Adrien Rabiot after the transfer window. Today, several interesting profiles are still available on the market. Adam Ounas (28 years old), Bouna Sarr (33), Billal Brahimi (25), Christian Eriksen (33), Hakim Ziyech (32), Tiémoué Bakayoko (31 years old) or Lorenzo Insigne (34) are potential tracks that could seduce the Marseillais staff.
Can Benatia strike a new big blow?
With Ligue 1, the European Cup and the national cuts, OM will need a large and competitive workforce. Building on a free player could therefore prove to be strategic, especially if a great opportunity arises. Benatia, already the author of a hectic transfer window, could well surprise once again by signing an unexpected reinforcement. The question is now whether Roberto de Zerbi will still make a specific need or if it will stop there.
