OM would like to add a touch of technique to their midfield during the winter transfer window and for this, Medhi Benatia has chosen Himad Abdelli. Marseille must, however, sell before rushing towards the Algerian international.
Author of four goals and an assist since the start of the season in Ligue 1, Himad Abdelli arouses much desire. At the age of 25, the Algerian international took time to explode at the highest level, but he is now one of the most technical players in Ligue 1. Captain of the SCO, he is also a real leader. The native of Montivilliers has everything it takes to please Olympique de Marseille, who would like to bring a touch of technique to their midfielder during the winter transfer window. Himad Abdelli has been followed for a long time, which the site confirms Football Africa this Sunday.
OM would like to sell Harit before recruiting Abdelli
Roberto De Zerbi appreciates the profile of the Angers midfielder, who could integrate the rotation of playmakers at OM, who has been playing with two players in support of Neal Maupay for several weeks (Rabiot and Greenwood). According to the specialist media, Marseille leaders will however have to sell before recruiting Himad Abdelli. Financially, the operation would not necessarily be very expensive but it is above all for a question of balance in the locker room that Medhi Benatia wishes to complete one or two departures before finalizing the arrival of the Algerian international.
In this attacking midfielder position, eyes are turning in particular to Amine Harit, cited this Sunday by La Provence as a player that Olympique de Marseille wishes to leave. We can legitimately think that the current runner-up of PSG will activate the Himad Abdelli track only if Amine Harit finds a base in order to avoid traffic jams in a sector of play where Adrien Rabiot, Mason Greenwood or even Bilal Nadir and Jonathan Rowe. In any case, the track of the Angevin captain is very active in Marseille, which will do its utmost in the coming weeks to make this arrival possible and thus satisfy Roberto De Zerbi.
