Target of Olympique de Marseille, Quentin Merlin is currently blocked by FC Nantes.

After the departure of Renan Lodi, and despite the arrival of Swiss Ulisses Garcia, Olympique de Marseille are still looking for an additional left-back for this winter transfer window.

In addition to the Adrien Truffert and Nuno Tavares files, the Phocaeans are on the trail of Nantes native Quentin Merlin. The French international hopefuls would be interested in the challenge, and an agreement in principle would even have been found. But we still have to convince the Nantes leaders to give it up.

Earlier in the week, Ouest-France indicated that the FCN first wanted to find a replacement for Merlin before parting ways with him. This Tuesday evening, Presse-Océan indicates that the transfer “has lead in his wing”. ” THE FC Nantesin a delicate position in Ligue 1, would not wish to part ways with an indisputable holder…”, indicates journalist Pierre-Arnaud Bard.

Mercato: at this time, the Quentin Merlin track at #OM would have lead in the wing. THE #FCNantesin a delicate position in Ligue 1, would not wish to part ways with an indisputable holder… #Marseille #transfers
