Olympique de Marseille about to play a bad trick at Stade Brestois? Since October, young Hamidou Makalou has been announced as approaching Brest. This 18-year-old Malian midfielder was even due to arrive in Finistère in January.
Hamidou Makalou is in Marseille
Everything seemed to be complete in this matter and Brest thought they had doubled all the competition with clubs like Chelsea, Salzburg and Crystal Palace. A transfer of around 3 million euros was mentioned. But until it's signed, nothing is official.
Thus, following the publication of a video from OM on its X account showing images of the training of its reserve team, a journalist indicates that the young Hamidou Makalou is currently with the Pro 2.
Who is Hamidou Makalou?
The young nugget of Malian football is currently being tested by the Marseille club. Information that changes everything and could thus call into question the future of the 18-year-old player and his arrival in Brest.
As a reminder, Hamidou Makalou caught the eye of recruiters during the last U17 World Cup. He played 7 matches, where he scored two goals and provided an assist with Mali.
The midfielder, who can play in a number 6 or number 8 role, was thus named second best player in 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.
