While the winter transfer window just opened its doors yesterday, the specialist media for this period, Foot Mercato, informs us that OM could leave a good number of players during the month of January…
Indeed, Foot Mercato mentions the launch of a real “downsizing” operation on the side of OM, an approach which would concern several elements of the workforce this winter.
Amine Harit at the top of the list!
Unsurprisingly, Congolese defender Chancel Mbemba is among the players expected to leave. After being sidelined by Roberto De Zerbi, a return to the professional group before June 30 seems unlikely. If Mbemba recently declined the advances of two Ligue 1 clubs (Rennes and Nantes), his future could well take shape in the Middle East, where his situation would increasingly resonate.
However, the headliner of this winter degreasing remains Amine Harit. According to the media, the departure of the Moroccan attacking midfielder seems almost inevitable this winter for the one who has not played a single minute since his exclusion against PSG on October 27…
Among the other names mentioned, Pol Lirola and Ulisses Garcia, who have scrounged up a few minutes due to the lack of depth in the squad since August, could be sold to free up space for potential recruits.
Unsurprisingly, the names of Ruben Blanco and Bamo Meité also appear on this list. The first would not yet have a serious suitor while for the second, Medhi Benatia will only listen to offers proposing a loan with a compulsory purchase option.
