While Brest seemed well on his way to completing his transfer against 3 million eurosnothing is official yet, leaving an opportunity for OM to win the bet.

A promising test in Marseille

According to the latest information, Hamidou Makalou is currently in a trial period with the Olympique de Marseille reserve team. A video published on social networks by the Marseille club allowed us to see the young Malian midfielder in training. This presence in Marseille could well call into question its future, initially all planned towards Brest. Makalou's talent no longer needs to be proven, he who shone during the U17 World Cup in 2023, playing 7 meetings and registering 2 buts while delivering 1 assist under the colors of Mali.

A highly sought-after versatile profile

What makes us strongHamidou Makalouit’s its versatility. Capable of playing both as a sentinel in front of the defense and in a relay role, the young Malian represents a valuable asset for any club looking for a complete midfielder. His notable performances on the international junior scene have naturally attracted attention, and OM seem determined not to let this opportunity pass him by. Brestwho thought he had done the hardest part by obtaining an agreement for a transfer of around 3 million euroscould well see its plans thwarted by the arrival of Marseille in the dance.
