Olympique de Marseille has already signed three players since the start of the winter transfer window. But Pablo Longoria is aiming to increase this to four. Saïd Benrahma is in his sights, but this operation can only be realized through a permanent transfer, according to the West Ham coach.

Before the end of the winter transfer window, Paul Longoria would like to inject new blood into the offensive sector of Gennaro Gattuso’s team. This is why the president of OM is negotiating with West Ham for the loan of Saïd Benrahma.

OM makes a loan offer for Benrahma, in vain

However, Paul Longoria will need to do better if he truly wants to attract Saïd Benrahma to OM. Indeed, this was the warning given by David Moyes in a press conference. It will be a transfer or nothing for Benrahma.

“As far as I know, the offer was rejected”

“It is true that Marseille made a loan offer. I wasn’t aware of it after the match (against Bristol City, ed.). As far as I know, the offer was rejected. We probably need to sell in order to bring in other players. If that’s the case, we are probably in the mood to sell rather than to loan .” said the West Ham coach to the media.
