The Harit case: between the end of a cycle and a Marseille dilemma

The 2024-2025 season for Amine Harit is one to forget. Hampered by recurring injuries, our Moroccan midfielder never managed to regain his former influence. As a result, he has slipped down the hierarchy under the orders of Roberto De Zerbi, who doesn't really seem to count on him for the next season. So, what should we do about Harit? Let's talk about it together!

Benatia facing a difficult choice

Unlike other cases where departures are resolved in a flash, Harit's case is causing serious internal division. Medhi Benatia, our sporting director and former teammate of the player with Morocco, refuses to push him out the door without consideration. He advocates for an honorable departure or, if possible, a true reintegration into the group. You can tell that the human side weighs heavily here, can't you? But is it viable both sportingly and financially? That's the question we all need to ponder.

A player who still holds value in the locker room… and with us

It's not because Harit is warming the bench that he's looked down upon, far from it! In the locker room, he still commands the respect of the key players for his professionalism and commitment, even in the shadows. Honestly, how many players maintain such exemplary attitude when things aren't going well? Admit it, it earns respect, and it explains why the management is hesitating so much.

Among the fans, we haven't forgotten his flashes and certain moments of class in our jersey. But with fierce competition looming in the midfield (Rabiot, Hojbjerg, Gomez…), can he still aspire to a real role? Tell us what you think in the comments!

What possible exit for Harit?

This is anything but simple. In the market, we're looking to make numbers, and Harit isn't really indispensable. But neither is he unwanted: no rumors of clashes, no locker room stories. So, what do we do? Loan with a purchase option? Negotiated termination? Nothing has been decided for now. And what if we decided to keep him as a luxury joker?

What would you do in Benatia's place? Do we prioritize sporting logic, economic balance, or respect for the man? Share your opinions, let's discuss together — that's also what living and loving OM is all about!
