Marseille Set to Sign Moroccan Midfielder Abdelaziz Barrada
Olympique de Marseille have shifted their transfer focus, with the club expected to finalize the signing of Moroccan attacking midfielder Abdelaziz Barrada.
The 25-year-old, currently playing for Al-Jazeera in the United Arab Emirates, has travelled to France and is slated to undergo a medical examination in the coming days, according to reports from his Gulf club.
L’Équipe reports that Barrada has agreed to a four-year contract with Marseille, though details of the transfer fee have not yet been disclosed. The signing marks a departure from the club’s initial plan to bolster their defence, instead opting to strengthen their midfield options ahead of the new season.
