A few days ago, at the RMC microphone, OM sports advisor Medhi Benatia, expected to become sports director of the Olympian club in the near future, spoke about the Mercato and the potential needs of Marseille in the months to come. “When you have 4 or 5 players who are not playing at their best level, obviously it gives the impression that everything has to be changed. We will have a discussion with the coach and the president on what we can do. We can always look at how to improve the team, and it will be done,” assured Benatia.
Murillo replaced by Sildillia
And obviously, the first decisions are starting to fall. If we are to believe the information from Provence, a man is starting to find himself in danger: Amir Murillo, the Panamanian defender who was expected to step up following the unfulfilled departure of Jonathan Clauss. Except that Murillo seems to have lost credit with Roberto De Zerbi, who prefers Pol Lirola on the right lane.
To the point that the Provençal daily evokes the real possibility of a departure in January for the versatile defender. A departure which would obviously be fulfilled and Provence is already putting forward a possible name. Kiliann Sildillia, the French international hopeful tracked last summer but too expensive due to the high demands of Fribourg, could quickly become a topical issue again. Pablo Longoria and Medhi Benatia will quickly get to work.

To summarize
OM still have several matches to negotiate before the winter break but that does not prevent the Olympian club from working on the next Mercato. With already a French lead to obtain reinforcement in the defensive sector.
