Olympique de Marseille could have made a big blow this winter. According to information from the team, the Marseille management was seriously planned to attach the services of the Spanish central defender Aymeric Laporte.
Our colleagues also report that the 2024 European champion, under contract with Al-Nassr until June 2026, was ready to rally the Canebière. A verbal agreement between the player and OM had even been found.
A track to follow for next summer
However, the operation could not succeed due to the financial terms. However, Marseille leaders could reopen the file at the next transfer window for the summer of 2025.
The possibility of an arrival of Laporte in the sky and white remains an attractive perspective, especially in the event of qualification for the Champions League next season. The former Manchester City player could provide a significant experience in a hinge deemed far too brittle this season.
