Aymen Abdennour, who was targeted by FC Barcelona before the recent transfer window and earned the title of the best Toulouse player for the month of August, has emerged as a priority for Olympique de Marseille in the upcoming summer transfer window. Marseille has reportedly identified Abdennour as one of the key acquisitions they are keen to secure, with the club looking to strengthen their defensive lineup.
The Tunisian international, known as the Eagle of Carthage, showcased his talents against Marseille when Toulouse faced them in the 5th day of Ligue 1, resulting in a 1-1 draw. Abdennour, characterized as a disciplined, physical, and intelligent defender, has caught the attention of Olympique de Marseille. The club aims to bolster its central defensive options, particularly with the addition of Abdennour to complement Cameroonian defender Nicolas Nkoulou in the heart of the defense.
