Targeted by OM, Truffert left to stay in Rennes. Marseille keeps an eye on Benrahma
After selling Renan Lodi to Al Hilal and enlisting Ulisses Garcia from Young Boys Bern, OM wants to welcome another left back this winter. Adrien Truffert is a prospect on the Marseille side but the French international (1 selection) left to stay in Rennes despite real interest from Marseille. The club managed by Pablo Longoria approached the player who was very receptive to this interest. But the native of Liège in Belgium is under contract with Stade Rennais until June 2026. The Breton club does not want to let go of him. Unless there is a change in the situation, it will be complicated for OM to complete this path successfully. The Marseille club, however, has other targets in this position.
Furthermore, OM is trying to attract Saïd Benrahma. A loan with an option to buy was offered to the 26-year-old who is under contract with West Ham until 2026. The Hammers rejected it and want a sale. OM has not made a second offer for the moment.

PSG: offers from several clubs for Hugo Ekitike
Hugo Ekitike has suitors. While he does not play for PSG (only eight minutes of play), the 21-year-old striker has several options this winter to get back on track. Among which is Eintracht Frankfurt. Already interested this summer when Randal Kolo Muani was heading in the opposite direction, the German club is pushing hard to bring in the former Reims striker.
A Premier League offer
After last summer’s failure, Frankfurt, currently sixth in the Bundesliga, has not let go of the player and has been active since the opening of the winter transfer window. But other European clubs are in the running. In Germany, Wolfsburg also made inquiries and made an offer to PSG.
But Hugo Ekitike also has good popularity in England. If Wolverhampton was once mentioned among the interested teams, it was Brentford who made an offer to attract the striker.
