Marseille Seeks Saudi or Qatari Suitor for Unwanted Moroccan Star Amine Harit

While he was hoping to play in Ligue 1, the biggest European competition this season, Moroccan international Amine Harit is no longer in the plans of Olympique de Marseille coach Roberto De Zerbi. The Marseille club expects to receive an offer from Saudi Arabia or Qatar to get rid of him.

Amine Harit is unwanted at OM. After transferring seven players this summer - including Moroccan Azzedine Ounahi to Girona and Adrien Rabiot to Milan - the club wants to part ways with new players. Amine Harit is the first player on its list. The Moroccan international earns around 350,000 € per month, but he has slipped down the hierarchy of Roberto De Zerbi. He is not on the Marseille club’s list for the Champions League. The 28-year-old player has been completely sidelined, while the young Bilal Nadir and the new recruit Nayef Aguerd have both been retained. A blow for the one who was hoping to play in the biggest European competition this season.

Formerly seen as a creative spark, Harit now appears to be a fourth or fifth option in the attacking midfield. After the European transfer window closed, OM hopes to receive an offer from Saudi Arabia or Qatar, in order to part ways with the Atlas Lion. The Saudi transfer window remains open until September 11 and the Qatari one until September 16. The French club would welcome an agreement that would eliminate Harit’s substantial salary. This would allow them to continue their policy of reducing their wage bill.
