Pablo Longoria’s advisor at OM, Mehdi Benatia, is seriously accelerating on a track at the end of the recrato.

With the signing of the promising Ulisses Garcia, OM have secured their third winter recruit. But, the Phocéens transfer window is not yet over. Their leaders are still studying some interesting avenues. There is that of Nuno Tavares, a former member of the house, but there is also another for this left-back position. Initiated by Mehdi Benatia, the sports advisor.

A Cornflower on the OM shelves

The Moroccan has so far remained behind in terms of transfers. But there is a player who caught his eye and he is now doing everything to recruit him. This is Bradley Locko, the member of Stade Brestois.

Locko is one of the best French promises in his position. This is also why he has been playing with Thierry Henry’s Bleuets since the start of the season. In Marseille, we have good hope of being able to snatch it from the Finisterians in the coming days. Even if the person concerned’s contract with Francis Le Blé extends until 2027.

Locko’s market value is estimated at 7 million euros according to the transfermarkt website. It’s a safe bet that Brest won’t let him go for less than that. It is up to Benatia and the Olympian officials to assess whether this gamble is worth it.
