The OM winter transfer window is not closed. A left side defender is still expected, at a minimum.
Jean Onana and Ulisses Garcia signed; Faris Moumbagna successfully passed his medical examination; but OM has not yet finished its winter transfer window. Renan Lodi having been sold to the Saudi club Al-Hilal, the Marseillais still have to strengthen the left lane of their defense. A new lead has emerged in recent hours in this sector.
The trend remains the same regarding the priority given to Rennais Adrien Truffert, even if the Breton club hardly facilitates exchanges. The international tricolor remains seduced by the Marseille challenge but to convince Rennes, the offer will have to be substantial, most certainly beyond 15 million euros. A little madness that OM could only afford with the support of its American shareholder Frank McCourt, who received Pablo Longoria in the United States these days.
A Canary for an alternative
As an alternative, the Olympians are considering Quentin Merlin, according to Foot Mercato, which specifies that FC Nantes is open to discussion, on condition of lining up some 12 million euros. There are also leads abroad, but no name has yet filtered out at this time. As for the Scotsman from Hellas Verona Josh Doig, the matter is well and truly understood. This one being on the way to Sassuolo.
