OM are on the verge of completing the signing of the player they have been ardently coveting for several days.
Marseille has yet another new defector in its ranks. After paying for the services of Ulisses Garcia, Jean Onana and Faris Moumbagna, the Marseille club is about to get their hands on Quentin Merlin, the FC Nantes full-back. An agreement was finally reached with the Nantes leaders for a transfer.
Merlin in Marseille this Friday
According to Foot Mercato, the international hopeful has officially been authorized to go to Marseille to conclude negotiations and initial his deal. He is expected in the Marseille city this Friday. This transfer was conditional on the arrival of a replacement at Beaujoire, and the FCN would obviously have the player it was looking for.
For Merlin, the amount of the transaction has not been disclosed, but it should be around 8 million euros. A decent amount for a talented young man who still has plenty of room for improvement.
OM fills its gaps
With Merlin, Marseille has two elements at left-back with Garcia. It remains to be seen whether he will look for others. Adrien Truffert and Nuno Tavares were also in his sights. For Gennaro Gattuso, additional options in defense would certainly not be too much given the current state of the Olympian squad.
