Former advisor to Azzedine Ounahi, Medhi Benatia could play a crucial role in the end of the OM transfer window. The market is still open for a few hours in Saudi Arabia. Watch out for the masterclass…
Very discreet during this summer transfer window, Medhi Benatia is one of the major players in the enormous project set up by OM for the arrival of Roberto De Zerbi. The sporting director has been decisive on several important issues and he could be even more so in this end of the transfer window which is playing extra time on the Saudi Arabian side…
The Ounahi case
Indeed, OM still has the possibility of selling in Saudi Arabia, where the market closes its doors on September 2. A window of opportunity exists and Medhi Benatia could seize it for the Marseille midfielder, Azzedine Ounahi. Before taking up his duties at OM, Benatia was Ounahi’s advisor… The two men know each other very well and this trust could be an asset in the final sprint of the transfer window.
A grand finale?
If there is one man who can convince Azzedine Ounahi to leave, it is Medhi Benatia. A final masterclass that would clearly suit OM… Roberto De Zerbi is not counting on the Moroccan midfielder, who he wants to see leave. In addition to parting with an undesirable, OM could replenish its coffers with a nice check for more than 10 million euros. In addition to a significant salary saving, Ounahi earns more than 4 million euros per season!
