Olympique de Marseille are reportedly very close to recruiting a left back playing in Ligue 1.
If Ulisses Garcia recently arrived in Marseille from the Swiss championship to compensate for the departure of Renan Lodi to Saudi Arabia, the Olympian leaders are still looking for another left back before the winter transfer window closes on January 31 . And this one could well come from FC Nantes.

According to information from Foot Mercato, Quentin Merlin would be very close to joining the Marseille city. Indeed, Pablo Longoria and his teams would have reached an agreement with the 21-year-old left back. At the same time, discussions between OM and FC Nantes are already well advanced, to the point that the Canaries have started looking for a replacement. On the other hand, the amount of a potential transfer has not yet been filtered.
The Truffert trail still active
Furthermore, the residents of the Stade Vélodrome would not have abandoned the Adrien Truffert track. If Stade Rennais recently closed the door to the departure of its French international (1 selection) this winter, the player would be very interested in the idea of continuing his career with Marseille. As a reminder, Truffert is linked to the Breton club until June 2026.
