As in 2021, OM could take advantage of a French talent lacking playing time to lure him into their nets and try to revive him. Roberto De Zerbi insists strongly on this defender.

Defensively, OM has opened its work for the winter transfer window. Roberto De Zerbi wants at least two reinforcements in January which can clearly allow the Marseille squad to repair the shortcomings at the start of the season. An axial profile and a right lateral are the priorities at the moment.
Sildillia, the new Saliba?
At the full-back position, OM already has hot targets on fire. Starting with the young Kiliann Sildillia, in difficulty with Friborg. Since the start of the season, he has failed to win against the experienced Lukas Kübler. Like William Saliba with Arsenal in 2021, OM could seize a great opportunity to loan a talent lacking playing time, ready to explode into the open.
OM has already tried its luck
Last summer, OM was already on the lookout for Kiliann Sildillia. But Medhi Benatia had stopped the discussions in the face of excessive demands from the leaders of Friborg. For the transfer of the Frenchman, after a successful Olympic Games, Friborg demanded at least 15 million euros. Too expensive for Marseille's finances at the time, the allocated budget being around ten million euros.
