OM's next transfer window takes an unexpected turn! The president Pablo Longoria would be on the verge of depriving Brest of a very promising young talent.
Mercato OM: Pablo Longoria ahead of Brest for Hamidou Makalou
As the winter transfer window looms, Olympique de Marseille is sparing no effort to strengthen its squad. Speculation is already sending renowned players like Paul Pogba, Arthur Melo and Nicolo Fagioli to the Vélodrome. But he is rather a young talent who is close to signing up with the Marseille club.
Indeed, OM seems to have beaten Stade Brestois to the post in the race to recruitHamidou Makalou. The 18-year-old Malian midfielder, who was expected in Brest in January, would now be undergoing a trial with the Marseille reserve, indicates insider Gary on his account X.
This about-face could upset the plans of Brest, who thought they had secured the transfer of the young Malian hopeful. Hamidou Makalou, who stood out during the last U17 World Cup, was courted by many European clubs, including Chelsea and Crystal Palace.
OM, always on the lookout for young talents, could therefore win the bet and secure the services of this promising midfielder.
