Called to take on the role of sports director at Olympique de Marseille, Medhi Benatia could mark his territory from the winter transfer window.
He has already been announced as the new strong man at Olympique de Marseille for the next transfer window periods. A former talented footballer linked to the Marseille club, Mehdi Benatia should put on the role of sports director to take on a big challenge in the months to come.
The former Moroccan international will be eagerly awaited for the next transfer window periods. Benatia can indeed rely on a vast network that he has developed since he hung up his crampons. In the OM environment, one file comes up forever: that of the great striker.
Benatia wants to make a big move
After the departure of Alexis Sanchez last summer, Olympique de Marseille failed to find a providential man on the offensive level. Recruited to succeed the Chilean, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has shown a disappointing performance since his arrival. In idea, OM would not focus on an axis player, but would like to attract an offensive element providing more guarantees.
With this in mind, one name would be unanimous: Hirving Lozano. PSV Eindhoven’s Mexican winger has shown his impact in the Champions League this season. The fact remains that journalist Fabrizio Romano specifies that OM should face competition from Los Angeles Galaxy for the Mexican. A destination that could attract the attacker, who would then be closer to his native country. Having passed through Naples and PSV, Lozano would be a strong reinforcement to energize a disappointing attack.
