A Moroccan player will soon join Olympique de Marseille

According to the specialized media TransferFeed, coach Roberto De Zerbi would have made the young Ali Maamar his priority for the full-back position. At 19 years old, this Belgian-Moroccan player played in the U20 World Cup final with Morocco. His versatility (right or left back) and his current performances would have convinced the Marseille coach. OM would like to act quickly, as his value, currently estimated at 2 million euros, "is likely to increase rapidly".

A bet on the future that is part of OM’s strategy

Roberto De Zerbi would have already insisted with his management to seize this opportunity. Ali Maamar, who was previously followed by FC Barcelona and PSG, had chosen Anderlecht to ensure playing time. Today, De Zerbi would see in him a recruit capable of integrating quickly and becoming a key player in Marseille.

The player is under contract with the Belgian club until 2028. Discussions will have to be quick if OM wants to complete this transfer before the player’s value skyrockets. This operation fits perfectly with the strategy of the Phocaean club: investing in high-potential talents, financially accessible and capable of progressing in a competitive environment.
