OM aspires to find solutions this winter for players lacking playing time or who no longer fit into Roberto De Zerbi's plans. Among them, Bamo Meïté. But the financial conditions requested seem far too high.

Roberto De Zerbi wants to take advantage of the winter to clean up his workforce. The OM coach has three players in his sights: Chancel Mbemba, Amine Harit and Bamo Meïté. If the first no longer has any future in Marseille, the other two are made available to the market depending on opportunities.
Meïté, OM missing the point?
For Bamo Meïté, Foot Mercato indicates that OM has very clear demands. The managers do not want a dry loan but rather a loan with a compulsory purchase option or a transfer. For this, OM is expecting an amount of… 7 million euros! At 23 years old, Bamo Meïté, who practically never plays this season (3 matches) is not worth this price. The Marseillais seem to be missing the point on the conditions requested.
Left to stay
Montpellier's interest was quickly extinguished by OM, the Montpellier residents are only considering a dry loan. For the rest, it's impossible to imagine a club putting 7 million euros on the table for a player who has received so little attention in recent months. The probability that he will stay at OM this season is very high…
