When Medhi Benatia wants something, OM sports director obtains it. Ongelish, determined and stubborn, the former Moroccan defender puts his tenacity at the service of OM. And it works! This winter, he signed Ismaël Bennacer after more than six months of discussions. Chased in the 2024 summer transfer window, the Algerian was blocked by AC Milan. But the arrival of Conceiçao, the situation has changed. And in less than 48 hours, Benatia threw herself into the breach to complete the Milanese loan.
Medina, the new masterclass
For Facundo Medina, Medhi Benatia did almost the same. Courted during the last winter transfer window, the Argentinian and his RC Lens club preferred to talk about a departure the following summer. MEDHI BENATIA was needed to relaunch the Medina file as long as the summer transfer window opened! And in 72 hours, OM and Lens reached an agreement for a deal at 22 million euros.
Medina wanted OM
As with Bennacer, Benatia did not give up for Medina. From start to finish, OM sports director believed it. And to help him, there was also Facundo Medina's desire to come to Marseille more than elsewhere in Europe. La Hoy Balerdi – Medina is ready to become the new rampart in Marseille!
