OM is activated for defense weight reinforcement. The name circulating will appeal to supporters, but the file is complex and the competition is tough.
Olympique de Marseille passes the second on its transfer window. After completing the signature of Facundo Medina, the direction led by Pablo Longoria and Medhi Benatia want to strengthen the rest of the rearguard. The right corridor of defense is an top priority and the Marseille leaders seem to have set their sights on a very interesting player. An ambitious track that confirms the club's desire to strengthen with confirmed profiles, but the file is far from simple.
This track leads straight to Sacha Boey. In difficulty at Bayern Munich where he has only played last season, the right side trained in Rennes is looking for an exit door to revive.
And according to information from the Turkish journalist çağatay çelikthe player would have made his choice: he wants to join OM. He would even have a contractual agreement with the Marseille club and would now wait for the two clubs to find common ground. A news that changes the situation, while other sources announced it very close to a return to Galatasaray.
OM: The first big signature of summer is Sacha Boey?
The Marseille project, the prospect of a substantial playing time in Ligue 1 and the chance to relaunch itself in a major championship would have convinced the player. His adventure in Bavaria, for which Bayern spent 30 million euros, did not take the expected turn, with only 17 games played, including 7 as a holder. A return to France, in a club as exposed as OM, would be an ideal opportunity for him to prove its value.
He said yes in Marseille, Longoria must now convince Bayern!
The hardest part may start now for OM. If the player's agreement is a considerable advantage, we must now convince Bayern Munich. The German club will not want to sell off a player bought at gold prices just a year ago. Negotiations are therefore upset between the two directions. Marseille will have to be persuasive, especially since the last transfer concluded between the two clubs, that of Michaël Cuisance, had left a mixed memory.
The file is therefore far from being completed, but the player's clear will to reach the canebière places OM in a position of strength. The next few days promise to be decisive. If Longoria and Benatia manage to finalize the operation, they would hit a very big blow by attracting a revenge player with high potential for a key position. The ball is now in the camps of the leaders.
