As we announced to you, Benoît Badiashile is one of the priority avenues for Mehdi Benatia and Pablo Longoria, in order to strengthen the central hinge of Olympique de Marseille.
An interesting profile for OM, since the central defender trained at AS Monaco knows Ligue 1 perfectly, but also because he plays little at Chelsea, and he will inevitably have extra motivation in this second part of the season. season, always with the aim of obtaining more playing time at the high level in order to once again knock on the door of Didier Deschamps' French team.
But OM are reportedly studying other issues to strengthen their defensive sector, and if we are to believe certain rumors from across the Channel, Chelsea leaders would not be totally open at the moment to letting Benoît Badiashile go on loan for the next six months.
And as recently indicated, Mehdi Benatia would have ticked off the name of the experienced Kalidou Koulibaly, whose profile would have quickly been validated by Roberto De Zerbi in Marseille.
Note that the OM board maintains excellent relations with its club Al-Hilal, since the operation carried out with Renan Lodi, and that Kalidou Koulibaly would be available for a loan of six months or a year, since the international Senegalese player was ultimately not included on Al-Hilal's list of ten foreign players in the Saudi Pro League for this season, in order to make room for Neymar's return.
For his part, the player would welcome an arrival at the current runner-up of PSG in Ligue 1. Kaliou Koulibaly on loan during the next winter transfer window at OM? A great path studied by the Benatia – Longoria duo at Olympique de Marseille in the event of failure with Chelsea for the former Monegasque Benoît Badiashile!
