And it’s excellent for the Marseille club led by Pablo Longoria and Frank McCourt. Arriving at the end of November at Olympique de Marseille, Mehdi Benatia took a very important place at OM.
With a very large network and an enormous football IQ, the former Moroccan international central defender is clearly the man who can change everything at OM. And his last transfer window only confirmed all the good things we think of him with the arrivals of great players like Adrien Rabiot or even Mason Greenwood and Pierre-Emile Højbjerg.
According to information from our colleagues from the newspaper L'Equipe, Mehdi Benatia should extend his contract in Marseille until June 2027, date at which Roberto De Zerbi is also linked with the residents of the Orange Vélodrome.
Finally, continuity in this ambitious Marseille project! With a gift coming this winter for the emblematic former captain of the Atlas Lions?
We know that Mehdi Benatia greatly appreciates the profile of his compatriot Reda Belahyane, just 20 years old and who is already shining on the Serie A pitches with Hellas Verona.
Trained at OGC Nice, the Moroccan international defensive midfielder is estimated at nine million euros. Benatia's next big move at OM? Case to follow for the very promising Belahyane, whose name has also been associated with AC Milan.
