Bamo Meïté wants January move as Marseille set conditions | OneFootball

There was interest in Bamo Meïté (23) in the summer, however, the defender ultimately remained with Olympique de Marseille. However, it is a decision that has not suited either party. He has gone on to register just 24 minutes of playing time all season, and a January move is now envisaged, according to a report from Foot Mercato.

Meïté’s last minutes of football came on 14th September, and at such a crucial juncture in his development, it is not a situation that can continue. As a result, OM are looking to offload him, but with a certain set of conditions. The club are not looking for a simple loan but, in an ideal world, a permanent transfer. Aware that this may not be possible due to the defender’s meagre game time this season, a loan with an obligation to buy would also be deemed acceptable.

Meïté himself is looking to leave the Vélodrome, however, there may be a shortage of interest. Stade Rennais and multiple English sides were in the mix in the summer but currently, no one is manfiesting a concrete interest. Both the player and OM will be hoping that changes next month.
