What if Mehdi Benatia had once again smelled the right move for OM in view of the next transfer window? No offense to the Breton club coached by Eric Roy as well as to the Austrian team.
Long announced in the sights of Brest as well as RB Salzburg, this young talent promised a bright future in the football world seemed to be heading towards Brest during the transfer window… but that was without counting on Olympique de Marseille who could well take the bet on this golden file.
Indeed, if Brest has already offered him a contract and his signing in SB29 seemed imminent according to several Malian media, the very promising Hamidou Makalou is currently on trial with OM. A “confirmation” test with a view to a transfer to Marseille…
Hamidou Makalou: a player that Mehdi Benatia highly appreciated, as did Stade Brestois and Red Bull Salzburg, during the last U17 World Cup where this young 17-year-old defensive midfielder or relay player stood out with the Mali selection in notably scoring two goals and providing an assist in seven matches.
