If the full-back position is a priority for the winter, it is the entire defense that OM could review in January, depending on the resources and market opportunities. Too permeable, it has more than 1.3 goals conceded on average per match, which is a lot for a contender for the final podium. Having already studied the opportunities on the right, in the market for players in their last contract season, let's take a look at the elements of the axis in the same situation.
A permeable defense to review this winter for OM
Here are five profiles which, for different reasons, deserve attention. The first is a name already associated with older OM transfer windows and perhaps one of the least convincing than that of Romain Saïss, because he is choosing a more golden than sporting end to his career in Qatar. To his advantage, he knows the French championship well.
Better than two flashier names such as Mats Hummels, recruited this summer by Roma but lacking playing time, and Victor Lindelöf, the Swedish international from Manchester United, courted in particular by Fenerbahçe in Turkey. They are potentially expensive for OM, but less on the compensation than the salary to be offered to them.
Osho and Boscagli two tracks that seduce
Two attractive tracks to finish. One leads to Gabriel Osho, a revelation of the current season in the jersey of a dashing promoted from Auxerre. The Englishman arrived free at the AJA, he signed a one-year contract with two additional seasons as an option. The other leads to the Netherlands and its PSV. He's a Frenchman, whom OL courted in the summer, his name is Olivier Boscagli, he also has Monegasque nationality, but it was in Nice that he revealed himself, before PSV that he frequent since 2019.
