During a chat with Internet users from The Teamthe journalist Loïc Tanzi shared several pieces of information regarding the transfer windowMarseille Olympic. Enough to get an idea of what the OM transfer window will look like as the end of the market approaches.
The Himad Abdelli file on hold
Among the subjects discussed, that of Himad Abdelli remains relevant. Currently, the track appears to be at a standstill as the Algerian international trains with the reserves and Quinten Timber has taken his place alongside Pierre-Emile Hojberg in the match against Lens. According to Tanzi, this is not the end of this track however, this file could reach an outcome in the last days of the transfer window. It must be said that OM is expecting departures in this sector during the transfer window. Darryl Bakola, closely followed by Strasbourgbut also Angel Gomes. We must also be attentive to the situation of Matt O’Riley, certainly loaned until the end of the season by Brighton, but whose competition has increased with the arrival of Timber since we also have to deal with competition from Hojbjerg, Nadir, Kondogbia and Vermeeren.
A targeted attack in case of status quo in the middle
The journalist also indicated that, if no reinforcement was recorded in midfield, the Olympian leaders could turn to the recruitment of an attacker at the very end of the transfer window. This follows the departure of Robinio Vaz, who could be followed by Neal Maupay. Even if OM have signed Ethan Nwaneri and the English nugget can also play up front, depending on departures, it may be possible to make a move. But first we must reduce the number of players in the squad.
Discussions for a young community
Finally, OM are reportedly in negotiations for a young midfielder. At this stage, the identity of the player concerned has not been filtered. But this means that contacts are not only established with Himad Abdelli (Angers) and Lucas Da Cunha (Como). Once again, we must also have an eye on the scale of departures to speculate on arrivals from now on, while Pablo Longoria had made it clear in December that it was necessary to reduce the size in terms of payroll because this could not be done at the end of August. You can find the sequence on video. As a reminder, for the moment, OM have sent three players out of this transfer window (Vaz, Lirola and Blanco) for two arrivals (Timber and Nwaneri).
