Looking for a central defender during this winter transfer window, FC Nantes is very interested in the prospect of recovering Bamo Meïté, undesirable at OM where Roberto De Zerbi no longer counts on him.
The winter transfer window should be hectic at Olympique de Marseille, which intends to take advantage of the January window to part with several unwanted players. This is the case of Chancel Mbemba, who has not played a single minute since the start of the season. But the Congolese defender is not the only one to be actively pushed towards the exit. While we thought that he could have his chance under the orders of Roberto De Zerbi after a decent season last year, Bamo Meïté does not fit into the plans of the Italian technician at all.
Hardly used since August, the Ivorian international has accepted the idea of leaving and several Ligue 1 clubs are in line to welcome him. The latest is none other than FC Nantes, which is seeking to strengthen itself in the race to maintain its position. According to information on the site Man of the matchthe Loire-Atlantique club offered a loan to the leaders of OM for the former FC Lorient defender, on whom Marseille had bet 10 million euros a year and a half ago.
Nantes and OM negotiate the transfer of Bamo Meité
Open to the idea of parting with its young 23-year-old central defender, the Olympian club nevertheless wishes to impose its conditions in this matter and requires a loan with an obligation to purchase in order to ensure a sale of Bamo Meïté to the end of the season and therefore a nice influx of money. Nantes is not against the idea of permanently recruiting the Marseille defender… on one condition. Waldemar Kita wants this purchase obligation to be activated only if FC Nantes manages to maintain itself. An agreement could therefore be simple to find in this matter and the most complex part will perhaps be to convince the player, who we do not yet know if he agrees to join La Beaujoire during this winter transfer window.
