It was precisely against RC Strasbourg that Olympique de Marseille conceded its first defeat of the season in Ligue 1. A bad memory for Adrien Rabiot, who made his big debut that evening in the Marseille jersey at La Meinau.
But there, OM and RC Strasbourg would be announced for the fight on a very good file compared to the upcoming transfer window. A young talent who had already been targeted by Mehdi Benatia during the last offseason.
Indeed, if we are to believe the latest rumors linked to this transfer market, Mehdi Benatia would have reactivated the trail leading to Tidiam Gomis, author of two goals and two assists with SM Caen in Ligue 2 this season.
The young 18-year-old left winger, who is a very important element of the French U19 team, would also be on the shelves of Wolfsburg or Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, but especially of Racing Club de Strasbourg Alsace.
Problem, OM would only be willing to offer “only” €4 million (which in itself already represents a very nice sum), whereas the leaders of the Stade Malherbe in Caen would expect a little more… Case to be continued !
