Olympique de Marseille in Advanced Talks with Youcef Atal: A Potential Return to Ligue 1

Zapping Onze Mondial EXCLUSIVE: the “Little Brother” interview with Randal Kolo Muani!

What if Youcef Atal made his return to Ligue 1? The Algerian full-back, free of any contract after his time at Adana Demirspor, has reportedly reached an agreement with Olympique de Marseille according to FootMercato. Although the signing is not yet official, discussions are advanced. After a great stint in Turkey, Atal has caught the eye of the league’s big names since Besiktas, Galatasaray and Istanbul Başakşehir are reportedly interested in signing him. However, it is towards the south of France, where he revealed himself with OGC Nice, that the Algerian is heading. His experience of the championship and his skills would be valuable assets for Marcelino’s team.

A transfer necessary?

Olympique de Marseille is not slowing down its transfer window. After the arrival of Ismaël Koné and the recent acquisition of Lilian Brassier on loan with an option to buy, the Marseille club continues to look for reinforcements in defense. The Atal case could result in a one-year contract, with an additional year as an option. The advantage of this transfer is that the full-back, without a club, would cost OM nothing. A godsend to strengthen a right wing that could see Jonathan Clauss leave. The piston of the French team, currently at the Euro, is the subject of interest from OGCN.
