Olympique de Marseille are looking for at least one left back for the winter transfer window. Here are the main tracks.
Little to its advantage in the championship (7th), eliminated last weekend in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France, and cut from a good part of its squad due to the African Cup of Nations, the Olympique de Marseille is having a complicated season and the rest could well prove even more complicated. To try to remedy all this, Pablo Longoria and the Marseille recruiters are working on the arrival of new elements. One of the priority files concerns the left-back position. Several options are on the table.
While Ulisses Garcia has just been recruited and has already played in the defeat against Rennes on Sunday evening, Marseille continue to prospect. As told The Team this Tuesday in its columns, the choices are multiple, but the tracks are not necessarily very hot. The name of Rennais Adrien Truffert has been circulating in recent days, but the Breton club has made it clear that he is not a seller. Nantes’ Quentin Merlin is also of interest to OM, but Canaries request a minimum of ten million euros. An amount that Marseille is perhaps not able to put on the table.
Players in check for a restart
Another track, Nuno Tavares is little used at Nottingham Forest. Loaned by Arsenal where he has a good chance of returning this winter, according to the sports daily, the Portuguese is of interest to OM. Same thing for Angelino who is also on loan and who lacks playing time at Galatasaray. A file which would be followed very closely by Pablo Longoria. So many files piled up on the desk of the Marseille president. The latter will have to decide.
