Marseille ready to allow Ivorian defender Bamo Meïté to join another club

French Ligue 1 side Olympique de Marseille is reportedly prepared to let Ivorian defender Bamo Meïté leave during the upcoming winter transfer window.

The 23-year-old central defender has struggled for game time under head coach Roberto De Zerbi, featuring in just three Ligue 1 matches this season and accumulating a mere 24 minutes of play.

With his future at the club uncertain, Marseille’s management has clarified their stance.

According to reports from Foot Mercato, the club is open to either a permanent transfer or a loan deal with an option to buy. This decision comes after Marseille president Pablo Longoria’s recent remarks fueled speculation about Meïté’s future.

Not fitting into the coach’s plans, the Kani-born player is now poised to seek a new challenge.

Currently under contract with Marseille until June 2028, Bamo Meïté is valued at €5 million by Transfermarkt.

His potential departure could pave the way for more opportunities elsewhere as he looks to revive his career and secure consistent playing time.
