Departures in defense…
OM could see some of its defenders leave the club during this transfer window. Several players, including Chancel Mbemba, Lilian Brassier et Why Meite?have an exit voucher. The case of Bamo Meité seems particularly closely watched, with clubs like Glasgow Rangers et Montpellier expressing interest in a dry loan. However, OM does not seem convinced by this option and instead favors a permanent transfer in order to generate liquidity. This situation could open the way to negotiations with these clubs, especially as OM, under financial pressure, seeks to improve its finances.
The recruitment of a central defender seems essential for De Zerbi, in particular to solidify the OM defense. The Marseille management seems to be looking for a left central player with an experienced profile, capable of quickly adapting to the club's demands. At the same time, a full-back could also be added to the squad, depending on future movements. The departure of certain players could open up a place on the wings, which would allow OM to diversify their defensive options.
Decisive choices for the future of the club
In summary, the OM winter transfer window promises to be full of movements, between arrivals and departures. With the confirmation of the transfer of Luiz Felipe, OM is starting to strengthen, but the quest for new players and cash could further transform the Marseille squad in the weeks to come.
