The management of OM knows how much it will have to pay to secure the services of Nantais Quentin Merlin.
Clearly, the OM management is having a lot of trouble concluding its various files for the left-back position. After having tried in vain to secure the services of Adrien Truffert (Rennes) and Nuno Tavares (Arsenal), she found it difficult to convince FC Nantes to sell Quentin Merlin to her.
Nantes too greedy for Merlin?
If this issue is at a standstill, it is because those responsible are being greedy financially. They would be ready to let their member go, but on condition of receiving at least 10 million euros in the transaction. An amount considered too high by Pablo Longoria and his disciples.
However, the negotiations have not ended. There remains hope of finding common ground by the end of the transfer window, scheduled for January 31. It is possible that the FCN is playing for time in order to obtain the best possible compensation for its international hopeful.
In the meantime, Merlin remains on standby. Even if he does not have the assurance of playing as a starter for Vélodrome, the person concerned is in favor of this transfer. For him, joining this great French club is a privilege and the assurance of being able to take a step forward.
