Looking for reinforcements for its left lane, Olympique de Marseille is interested in Nantes player Jaouen Hadjam, who was on his way to Standard de Liège.

Clearly, there is agitation on the Marseille left. This sector of the game is one of OM’s main projects in the winter transfer window, particularly due to the departure of Renan Lodi, who will bring in more than 20 million euros for his club by flying to Saudi Arabia. Arabia.

To replace the Brazilian, the Phocaeans want two players. One of them should be Josh Doig, the Scot from Hellas Verona, whose arrival seems to be on very good track. But OM will obviously not achieve their goals with Adrien Truffert. Julien Stéphan, the Stade Rennais coach, does not want to give it up this winter.

Hadjam was heading towards Belgium, but…

Another track would thus have been activated. According to Ouest-France, OM is trying its luck with Jaouen Hadjam. The young Algerian will undoubtedly leave Nantes this winter, where he is barred by Quentin Merlin. And after an abortive return to Paris FC, the 20-year-old seemed headed for Standard Liège. He would even be in the starting blocks to do his first training with the Belgian club.

The arrival of OM in this matter would, however, make him think, and Hadjam is waiting to learn more about the interest of the Phocaeans before making his decision. The player is under contract until 2027 with Nantes, and a loan with an option to buy would be the preferred option.
