Why is Merlin’s file blocked on OM?

FC Nantes defender Quentin Merlin still hasn’t boarded the plane heading south. To his great dismay. As of this weekend, the 21-year-old has agreed all the details of a three-and-a-half-year contract with OM. On Monday, Marseille offered €10 million + €2 million bonus for the transfer. The offer was accepted by the Nantes management, who were not selling last week and were increasingly considering the departure of their player. has happened

So what is missing to not transfer? The file is blocked because FC Nantes did not find Merlin’s place on the left, knowing that the Nantes club had already lost Jouen Hadjam (left to Young Boys Bern), who also played on the left of the Canaries rearguard.

Merlin plans to join OM…

Today, FC Nantes worked well in several ways (notably Lensois Haidara, according to Foot Mercato) and were offered several names for the left position (Dombia, ex-Angers), but nothing has materialized at the moment. “It stays because we have no replacement.”

Can the file still be unlocked? Not impossible… Meanwhile, the OM, while working on the appeal, did not leave this possibility. Quentin Merlin, is not sensitive to the OM project either. The player happily launched himself at Marseille this weekend, and there are persistent rumors that he may take time to recover from his aborted departure to Marseille in January. One fact is also worth considering. Moreover, none of the parties risked closing the file.
