While OM would have tracked Jakub Kiwior (Arsenal) and Benoît Badiashile (Chelsea) to strengthen their defense, an answer came.
It's official, the transfer window opened its doors on January 1, 2025. For OM, there are several issues. Remove the undesirables and strengthen Roberto De Zerbi's group. The latter made his list of needs for this transfer window to his leaders. The OM coach would have requested recruits for 3 specific positions which are: the right side, the left and right center defender. However, the task does not appear to be complicated as the Marseillais do not have an unlimited budget.
Kiwior and Badiashile files closed
In recent days, the names of Jakub Kiwior (Arsenal) and Benoît Badiashile (Chelsea) had emerged as among the possible reinforcements this winter. However, the news is not good for these two files. According to information from La Provence on January 1, the files leading to the two players have been closed. For the Frenchman, it is certainly due to Chelsea's needs in defense, with the Premier League club even recalling Aaron Anselmino from Boca Juniors. Pablo Longoria and Medhi Benatia will have to rack their brains to find other possibilities, to be continued.
