Olympique de Marseille’s Defensive Reinforcements
This summer, Olympique de Marseille is prioritizing the addition of a centre-back to strengthen their defense, which has faced significant challenges during the previous season. The club has been linked with notable defenders like Aymeric Laporte, Facundo Medina, and Nayef Aguerd in their search for reinforcements.
Pursuit of Benoît Badiashile
Recent reports from L’Équipe suggest that Marseille is also looking at Chelsea’s Benoît Badiashile as a viable option.
The 24-year-old, who previously played for AS Monaco, could view a move to Marseille as a chance to escape a difficult situation at Chelsea.
Since his transfer to the Premier League, Badiashile has found it tough to secure a regular spot in the starting lineup. He has appeared in just 19 matches across all competitions this season, and with Chelsea heavily investing in their defense with new signings like Aarón Anselmino and Renato Viega during the January transfer window, Badiashile’s chances of playing time may diminish even further next year.
Conclusion
As Marseille evaluates its options, the addition of Badiashile could provide the club with the defensive reinforcement it desperately seeks.
