OM could sign Bachir Belloumi for 6 million eurosa 22-year-old Algerian false-footed winger, who has just made a strong impression with the modest Farense club in Portugal (35 matches, 7 goals, 5 assists).
A player whose name is familiar to football fans of the 80s… Which is normal since he is the son of Lakhdar Belloumi, legend of the famous Algerian team which distinguished itself at the 1982 World Cup. The Team says that his son, forty years later, came to Marseille to try out. Not at OM, but at Endoume, which was then in National 3. “They were interested, but the squad was already drawn and, in the meantime, Bachir had made the decision to go to Portugal” explain Rolland Courbiswho had coached the 7th arrondissement club and who had tried, at the time, to get his father to sign there.
In the team were then some acquaintances from the Marseille training center like Fabrice Apruzesse, Cédric D’Ulivo, Jonathan Santiago and Gaël Andonian. At the end of the season, Endoume will be relegated and Belloumi, rejected by the reserves of Montpellier, Strasbourg and Paris FC, will fly to Farense.
