This winter, Olympique de Marseille intends to strengthen itself, particularly in the offensive sector. And according to information revealed by L’Équipe, two rather experienced wingers would have been “mentioned” within the Canebière training: namely, Saïd Benrahma (28 years old) and Suso (30 years old) whose playing time , respectively at West Ham and Sevilla FC, is quite limited in this first part of the season. It remains to be seen whether the Algerian and the Spaniard could be interested in the Olympian project. Furthermore, the sports daily indicates that the Marseille leaders would also look towards the Turkish championship, without however giving any further information.
In a bad position in Ligue 1 after a catastrophic first part of the season, Olympique Lyonnais (15th, 16 points) announced that it wanted to be active this winter to expand its squad. And according to information published by Globo – which confirms the rumors of recent weeks – Botafogo FR goalkeeper Lucas Perri (26 years old) and his teammate central defender Adryelson (25 years old) are on their way to the Rhône. The total amount of these two operations would amount to €20 million. As a reminder, Botafogo FR is owned by John Textor, the American businessman (also) owner of the Rhone club.

Already interested in his profile last summer, Crystal Palace would still be thinking of Hugo Ekitike. Indeed, the Evening Standard claims that the Eagles could try to recover the Paris SG striker in January in the event of the departure of Jean-Philippe Mateta. The ex-Rémois would be available on loan until the end of the season. As a reminder, the 21-year-old player was sidelined last summer and did not play any more minutes in an official match with the Rouge et Bleu in this first part of the season.
This is a very big move that RC Strasbourg Alsace is preparing to achieve. According to L’Équipe, the Alsatian team has reached an agreement with IMT Belgrade for the transfer of Milos Lukovic. The amount of the operation would amount to €5.5 million. Aged 18, the Serbian center forward is considered one of the best European “prospects”. This season, he has scored 10 goals in 19 Super Liga matches.
A little behind in the league and faced (in particular) with Gavi’s injury, FC Barcelona (4th, 38 points) would like to strengthen in the midfield during the winter month. And according to the revelations of Sport, the Blaugrana have set their sights on Aleix Garcia, the Girona FC midfielder. Aged 26, the Spaniard had a high-flying first part of the season with Blanquivermells (3 goals, 4 assists). It would be valued at nearly €20 million. A significant sum for the “FCB” which could be tempted to integrate players into the operation in order to reduce the transfer fee. To be continued.
