Despite the absence of the European Cup, Olympique de Marseille still manages to attract great players in the transfer window like Adrien Rabiot. Another French international is targeted.
Last summer, the Marseille club probably achieved its best recruitment in recent years. Under the leadership of Roberto De Zerbi, and despite the absence of the European Cup this season, Marseille managed to recruit players like Hojbjerg, Greenwood, Maupay and Rabiot, elements who would all have a place in a squad of Champions League club. If for the moment, OM is not having the dream season, notably with poor results at the Vélodrome, the Olympian club is still on the L1 podium after 12 days. Suffice to say that the new cycle launched by Pablo Longoria last summer is off to a pretty good start. But for the continuation of events to be even better, Marseille will have to strengthen its defensive sector during the next transfer window. If the name of Paul Pogba is still circulating around the Vélodrome, knowing that the 2018 world champion is free from any contract after his departure from Juventus, another French international could arrive in Marseille in 2025. It is Benoît Badiashile.
Benoît Badiashile loaned by Chelsea to OM?
According to the latest information from Monaco-Matin, the name of the 23-year-old central defender does indeed appear in the short-list made by Mehdi Benatia for the next winter transfer window. Little used by Enzo Maresca on the Chelsea side, with only 10 matches on the clock, the player trained in Monaco could be loaned for the last six months of the season in order to regain playing time, with the aim of re-tasting the Blues. And if he ever chose Marseille, Badiashile would find former French teammates like Rabiot. In search of a starting central defender to support captain Balerdi, OM could achieve a good deal in the transfer window by bringing in Badiashile, who would relaunch in a club aiming for the European Cup within a championship that he knows well.
