Benrahma’s Transfer Considerations
Saïd Benrahma, the talented forward from West Ham, is contemplating a shift to Marseille over Lyon in the upcoming January transfer window.
Despite interest from several Ligue 1 clubs, the 28-year-old Algerian international is reportedly inclined towards joining Marseille, according to reports.
Preferences Amidst Suitors
While Lyon has been in discussions with Benrahma and has been a longstanding contender for his signature, complications arising from multiple intermediaries involved in the deal could pose obstacles.
However, Marseille’s entry into the pursuit has swayed the player’s inclination more towards the southern French club.
Marseille’s Emergence as Front-runners
With Marseille’s entry into the race, they seem to have gained an edge in Benrahma’s considerations.
Reports suggest that Marseille’s involvement has elevated their status as front-runners in the chase for the player’s signature, potentially altering the course of his transfer decision.
Challenges in Finalizing the Deal
Should Benrahma opt for a move to Marseille, sealing the deal during the January transfer window could face significant hurdles.
While a permanent transfer in the winter window appears less feasible, reports indicate that a loan arrangement with a purchase option might offer a more pragmatic solution, as stated by Get Football News France.
