OM leaders could seize the opportunity to recruit a promising young Ligue 1 talent to compensate for the defensive weaknesses of this first part of the season. Marseille would thus target a central defender from RC Lens.
Olympique de Marseille plans to be active during the winter transfer window to strengthen its squad, particularly in defense. Despite significant summer recruitment, adjustments seem necessary to prepare for the second part of the season.
According to information from Italian journalist Nicola Schira. The Marseille club follows closely Abdukodir Khusanovyoung central defender of Racing Club de Lens. At 20 years old, this Uzbek international has established himself as a pillar of the Lens team since his arrival in 2023. His consistency and solid performances have attracted the attention of several European clubs, includingABOUT. Under contract with Lens until 2027, Khusanov is estimated at 5 million euros by Transfermarkt, an accessible amount for Marseille. His versatile profile and his potential for progression make him an attractive option to improve the defense led by Roberto De Zerbi.
