It was expected, it’s official: Quentin Merlin is arriving at OM. Trained at FC Nantes, the 21-year-old full-back has committed to the Olympian club until 2028. After the departure of Renan Lodi to Al-Hilal, OM had already recruited Swiss international Ulisses Garcia on the left. However, it was clear that Pablo Longoria was looking for a potential starter. We talked about Rennais Adrien Truffert or a return of Nuno Tavares. The Merlin track was the right one.
The transfer amount has not been confirmed by either club. It would be around €12 million.
