Ligue 1 clubs are starting to get active in preparation for the next winter transfer window. This is particularly the case for Olympique de Marseille and RC Strasbourg, who are interested in the same player. According to information from the media Jeunes Footeux, these two French teams are targeting the young talent of SM Caen, Tidiam Gomis.
OM : Mehdi Benatia doesn't go to Tidiam Gomis
The latter was already in the sights of OM this summer but the Marseille club finally recruited Jonathan Rowe as a winger. Mehdi Benatia did not let go of this track and would have even reactivated it as the winter transfer window approached.
Author of two goals and two assists in 13 Ligue 2 matches this season with SM Caen, the 18-year-old French winger is an important player for the Norman club. And this, even if he alternates between the status of holder and that of supersub.
German clubs also interested
Tidiam Gomis has also established himself as a starter in the ranks of the France U19 team, scoring twice against Liechtenstein and scoring the winning goal against Wales this week.
It thus confirms the great promises seen last season and its very interesting potential. Still according to the same source, this trained left winger, who can play in all positions on the attacking front, is also in the sights of Wolfsburg and Bayer Leverkusen for this winter.
At the end of his contract at the end of the season with Caen, who still hopes to be able to extend it before January, Tidiam Gomis seems more likely to leave the Ligue 2 team. At least he does not seem at all impatient to extend with the Norman club.
OM will not offer more than €4 million
A departure this winter would allow his training club to recover a small check while a free departure next summer would bring nothing to Caen? Everything seems possible in this file but one thing is certain: there will be offers for Tidiam Gomis this winter.
In any case, according to Jeunes Footeux, OM, who are also interested in a young Malian hopeful, would only be willing to offer 4 million euros this winter for the Caen winger. A significant sum for an 18-year-old winger, who is in his last year of contract, but which could prove insufficient compared to the expectations of SM Caen and compared to potential offers from the competition.
Passionate about sport and from Toulouse, I am of course a supporter of the great TFC, which has more titles than OM and OL combined over the last ten years.
