OM has undertaken to focus on young talents for the years to come. And if the Marseille team already allows the club to have good visibility, Medhi Benatia could also dip into the pool of European football.
Since the arrival of Roberto De Zerbi, OM has clearly shown its intention to build the future on solid foundations by focusing on young talents. With a sports policy focused on training, the club hopes not only to shine in the short term, but also to ensure long-term stability. It is in this sense that the coach signed for three seasons. And this sports policy naturally aligns with Olympian recruitment.
OM does not let go of Tidiam Gomis

At 18, the young striker is learning in Ligue 2 and shows real potential. OM wanted him this summer and continue to follow him, while his contract ends next June… The opportunity to recruit him this winter is more than tempting and Medhi Benatia is on deck.
Benatia in search of European talent
Medhi Benatia, now at the heart of the Marseille sports project, is also exploring European talents to strengthen the squad. Josh Duffus, young British striker playing for Brighton, would be in the club's sights. Known for his speed and technique, the 18-year-old could bring a new dynamic to the Marseille attack. Roberto De Zerbi knows him well since he saw him grow up in Brighton. An asset to convince the English nugget to come to Marseille…
