Olympique de Marseille, the subject of the wildest rumors during the transfer window, is associated with a new name. Despite all the players mentioned so far, the Phocaeans have only recorded two arrivals, those of Samuel Gigot (who has been registered for a few months) and Isaak Touré.
Among the six Frenchmen in AC Milan, it is Tiémoué Bakayoko who interests OM the most. The Olympians lost their defensive midfielder trained at the club Boubacar Kamara and would track the former Monegasque to replace him.
Recruited in 2017 by Chelsea after an exceptional season with AS Monaco, Bakayoko has been on loan since 2018. These repeated transfers have their limits. Indeed, the French international who was to stay with AC Milan for two seasons, on loan, should see his Italian stay cut short in the coming days.
If the Rossoneri no longer want him, he should not drag on at Chelsea. The native of Paris is under contract with the London club until 2024 but does not enter into Thomas Tuchel’s plans. This is why an interest from Olympique de Marseille is mentioned by the Italian media such as SportMediaSet or the Gazzetta dello Sport. Pablo Longoria would see there the opportunity to recruit an experienced player, who knows the championship and who has already played in the Champions League.
