After a season concluded by a place in Dauphin synonymous with direct qualification for the Champions League, Olympique de Marseille should still be very active in the transfer market.
A report was carried out by the club's sports management, and the verdict is clear: the defensive sector will have to be modified in large widths.
Adrien Truuffert is an OM priority.
Among the announced movements is the possible departure of Quentin Merlin. The former Nantes was not OM's weak link this season, but he would be undecided as to give his career. To replace it, a name would already be unanimity internally.
OM rushes to a French international
According to information from the team, Olympique de Marseille has checked the name of Adrien Truffert to strengthen himself as a left side defender this summer. The French international (a selection) ticks all the boxes, thanks to his profile as a counterattack, his regularity and his volume of play.
While his contract in Rennes expires in a year, Truffert could be seduced by the Marseille challenge. But Habib Beye does not hear it from that ear. “It is the ultimate priority for the club and the coach that I am. I spend my time talking to him, making him smiles, telling him that he corresponds perfectly to the identity of Stade Rennais… ”. Case to follow.
