After having tried the adventure with Iliman Ndiaye, crazy about OM since his childhood, the Marseille leaders are in the process of finalizing another file of the same kind.
On paper, the story was sublime. Perfect limit. An OM fan since his early childhood, Iliman Ndiaye made the most incredible of his dreams come true by facing an Olympian in the summer of 2023. The announcement of his transfer sparked real hype around this kid who had worn the Marseille colors at the age of 12. After breaking through in England, this comeback on the Canebière had everything of a Netflix series. Unfortunately for Ndiaye, the transplant did not fully take place. His family has not managed to adapt to French life and he has already returned to the Premier League side, towards Everton. But to console themselves, OM already has a second fairy tale under its belt!
Belloumi dreams of OM
Behind the scenes, OM is finalizing another file that looks a lot like that of Iliman Ndiaye. If the technical profile is different, the story and love for OM is similar. Bachir Belloumi, a 22-year-old Algerian international, is indeed crazy about Marseille. The photos circulating on social networks where we see him at any age with club equipment clearly show that he is a fan of the club.
A file worth 6 million
After a great season in Portugal, with Farense (38 games, 7 goals), Bachir Belloumi caught the eye of OM. So much so that Pablo Longoria made two offers. And the last one, estimated at 6 million euros, seems to have hit the mark. The media agree that the file smells very good. Son of Lakhdar Belloumi, legend of Algerian football in the 1980s (100 caps, 28 goals), the young Bachir has everything to become a darling for the Fennecs as well as for the people of Marseille…
