OM are preparing to get their hands on a young and promising Belgian defender.

OM has not yet officially appointed a new coach. But this does not prevent him from studying the different possibilities of reinforcement. And in particular in defense. Currently, a young Belgian fullback would be on the Olympians’ shelves.

According to the media La Minute OM, the Marseillais covet Maxim De Cuyper, the member of Club Bruges. Negotiations with the Belgian club have even already started. The desire of Marseille decision-makers is to complete this file as quickly as possible to pull the rug out from under the feet of the competition.

OM in competition with Paris?

De Cuyper (23), who is currently at the Euro with his national team, has an estimated market value of 9 million euros. His contract runs until 2026 and he would also like Paris SG.

In the past, OM have already had a Belgian central defender in their squad. At the start of the 2000s, the Phocaeans were able to count the solid Daniel Van Buyten in their ranks.

Note also that the last player that Marseille went to get from Bruges is none other than Jean-Pierre Papin. Let’s hope for De Cuyper that he experiences the same success at the Vélodrome as the legendary JPP.
