While his transfer to OM seemed to be a done deal, a young talent was finally told that he would not be arriving at the Vélodrome.
Foued Kadir is the last Algerian to have worn the colours of OM. And he is well on his way to staying there for a while yet. Two Fennecs were announced as potential transfers from the Phocéens this summer, but their respective deals fell through.
OM does not want an Algerian
After Youcef Atal, whose legal history has proven to be detrimental, it is Bachir Belloumi’s turn to see his dream of signing for Marseille evaporate. Although announced to be very close, the Farense player (Portuguese D1) learned this Wednesday that no agreement has been reached for him to join the Commanderie.
According to Foot Mercato, this file is now at a standstill. OM has chosen not to recruit the son of the former African legend. The reasons why this commitment fell through have not been communicated.
Greenwood, he will sign
Unlike Belloumi’s, the Mason Greenwood track is progressing well on the Marseille side. After much thought, the English striker has agreed to land in the south of France. His arrival in Marignane is scheduled for this Wednesday evening. The nature of the reception he will receive remains a total mystery.
