OM tried to recruit Ismaël Bennacer in the last hours of the summer transfer window, but the deal failed because OM needed to sell before acting. A new deal to fill this gap?
While the Marseille supporters were hoping for the arrival of Ismaël Bennacer in the last hours of the summer transfer window, the Algerian midfielder had even given his agreement and pushed to join Olympique de Marseille. Too late, the file could not be completed and the transfer window ended before an agreement was reached between the two clubs.
Milan had targeted Rabiot
Inevitably, this caused huge regrets on the part of Marseille supporters. AC Milan had nevertheless targeted his replacement with Adrien Rabiot. Free, journalist Nicolo Schira indicated that AC Milan had approached the French international.
“Galatasaray have shown interest in Adrien Rabiot as a free agent. The French midfielder would like to play in the Premier League. He was approached by AC Milan in recent days to replace Bennacer, who was in talks with OM. Rabiot had turned down a generous offer from Saudi Arabia in recent weeks.”
Everything seemed to be in perfect shape for an agreement between the two clubs, but time was not on either club’s side.
