The Olympique de Marseille transfer window is facing challenges, with the departure of Alou Diarra to West Ham being the only significant move so far. Marseille is actively seeking to part ways with other players to boost their financial position, with Stéphane Mbia, César Azpilicueta, and Jordan Ayew still in the rumor mill.
Despite the ongoing efforts to offload players, Marseille is also looking to strengthen its squad. According to L’Equipe, the club is interested in AC Milan left-back Djamel Mesbah. The 27-year-old Algerian international is seen as a potential addition to cover the left side, providing competition for Jeremy Morel, who has faced criticism for recent performances.
Mesbah, currently playing for AC Milan, may not be a regular starter but made around twenty appearances last season, including some in the Champions League. Marseille faces competition for Mesbah’s signature, as Palermo, an Italian Serie A club, is also reportedly interested and has made an offer to AC Milan. The competition for the player’s services adds an extra layer of complexity to Marseille’s pursuit of defensive reinforcements.
