Competition rages between OM and OL in the Himad Abdelli file. The Marseille club, however, took a clear lead over its competitor Lyon thanks to the intervention of Medhi Benatia.
A clear advantage in favor of OM for Abdelli?
Successively, agreements in principle between the player and OL and then OM were announced, without us really knowing which club Himad Abdelli preferred. The La Minute OM insider account provides new information on the matter and says more about the intentions of the man who is currently competing in the CAN with Algeria. According to the specialized media on Olympique de Marseille on X, it is clear that the advantage is now with the Marseille club thanks to the decisive intervention of Medhi Benatia.
“Notable progress in the Himad Abdelli case! OM is now ahead of OL in the Himed Abdelli case. The intervention of Medhi Benatia made it possible to advance discussions with the player” posted account X before continuing. “The Marseille leader is working tirelessly to conclude this great deal. Discussion with Angevin President Said Chabane. The player always favors an arrival in Marseille rather than Lyon” can we read on the social network. Olympique de Marseille would therefore have taken a serious option on the signing of Himad Abdelli by obtaining the player’s agreement and his preference despite competition from Olympique Lyonnais.
