Revelation of the season in Farense (Portugal), Mohamed Bachir Belloumi has no shortage of suitors. Like Olympique de Marseille, Bruges and Ajax Amsterdam have sent an offer to finalize his transfer. But the Algerian attacking midfielder only has eyes for the Marseille club. Excellent news for President Pablo Longoria.
Without waiting for the official appointment of coach Roberto De Zerbi, Olympique de Marseille launched the major maneuvers for its recruitment. The Italian coach, whose contract is being finalized, has undoubtedly already given his opinion on certain current files. And in particular on the track leading to Mohamed Bachir Belloumi. The Marseille club is one of the courtiers of the Farense attacking midfielder, author of 7 goals and 4 assists in 33 league matches this season.
His performances inevitably alerted other teams like Bruges and Ajax Amsterdam. Like Olympique de Marseille, these two teams have already sent a concrete offer to Farense. The amounts of these proposals have not been filtered. On the other hand, Foot Mercato specifies that the Marseille offer is lower than those of the competition. The resident of the Vélodrome could have found himself in a bad position on this issue. But according to our colleagues, Olympique de Marseille is favored by Mohamed Bachir Belloumi.
OM has free rein
Convinced by the Marseille project, the 22-year-old Algerian absolutely wants to join the team soon to be coached by Roberto De Zerbi. His Farense club, obliged to reach an agreement with the Ligue 1 team, is therefore continuing discussions with Pablo Longoria in the hope of reaching an agreement in the coming days. Freed from competition, Olympique de Marseille has every reason to be confident in the signing of this attacking midfielder estimated at 4 million euros on the Transfermarkt website.
