Olympique de Marseille did not take much time to distinguish themselves in this winter Mercato. Yesterday, we learned that Luiz Felipe, free from any contract since the end of his adventure with Al-Ittihad, was going to join the Olympian club in the coming hours for an 18-month contract. A reinforcement of weight and experience in the defensive sector for Roberto De Zerbi wishing to further densify his rearguard. And according to information from Saber Desfarges, this is far from over.
A central defender and a full-back hoped for?
Indeed, OM would ideally like to part ways with three defenders by the end of the month: Chancel Mbemba, Lilian Brassier and Bamo Meïté. Concerning the last named, Montpellier but also the Glasgow Rangers have expressed their interest. The only problem is that the Marseille club would like liquidity and would therefore favor at least a loan with a purchase option. One thing is certain, if he were to complete some of these departures, OM will be active again and could recruit a new central defender as well as a full-back.
Yesterday, at a press conference, Roberto De Zerbi made no secret of being active on this issue of the Mercato: “We are professionals, we have a job to do 100% until the last day. These moments I manage them with Medhi Benatia and the entire OM sports department, with Pablo Longoria too. The January transfer window must be a smart transfer window. You have to find the right profiles, in the right positions, and not do it in quantity..”
