OM Transfer Market: Laporte, Aguerd... Who will be the missing link in defense?

We strengthened the attack with some heavyweight additions, and that is certainly pleasing! But we all know, a great team is built on a solid foundation. And for now, we're still missing that so-called 'missing link' in defense. The transfer window is not over, and management is actively working to find the player or players who will solidify our defense.

Is the Aymeric Laporte trail reopened?

It's news that caused a stir: Aymeric Laporte, the Spanish international defender, has been excluded from his club Al-Nassr's pre-season camp. This situation makes him available on the market, and naturally, it sparks interest! OM, as well as AS Monaco, would be in the running.

We already talked about it a few months ago, a verbal agreement had even been reached with the player if OM qualified for the Champions League. Today, the situation has changed, but the possibility of seeing him arrive on loan, with a shared salary, cannot be ruled out. It would be an incredible reinforcement of experience and quality for our central defense.

Aguerd or Ndicka, the other options?

Laporte is not the only consideration. Seb also mentioned the names of Nayef Aguerd and Evan Ndicka. Two high-level profiles that would provide real added value. Moreover, Seb said:

"If Aguerd or Ndicka comes to OM, I'll ride my bike from my home to the Vél'!"

That goes to show just how prestigious these targets are! The transfer window is still long, and there are six weeks left to finalize these deals. The management has shown ambition in attack; now we're waiting to see how they'll tackle the defensive front.
