According to reports, OM sporting director Mehdi Benatia recently contacted Bayern Munich to try to loan striker Mathys Tel, who plays little.
The winter transfer window will undoubtedly allow OM to make some adjustments. And the departure of Elye Wahi, expected at Eintracht Frankfurt, will give the management of the Marseille club the possibility of bringing in another attacker. This is, at this very moment, the daily work of the sports director, Mehdi Benatia, who, according to the daily L’Equipe, recently spoke with Bayern Munich to secure the services of the French striker, Mathys Tel.
The latter, who plays little in Bavaria, now knows what awaits him if he decides to return to L1. And for good reason, Benatia picked up her phone, called the coach of the German club, Vincent Kompany, and took advantage of her friendship with the latter to explain her expectations to him. In short, Benatia assured Bayern that Tel would play for six months and get the playing time in Marseille that he does not have in the Bundesliga.
Sufficient ? This would not be the trend, the player having received assurances for the second part of the season. But Benatia has once again proven that her network, and her friendships, are an undeniable advantage at OM.
