OM: Three French clubs call Lorenzi for a surprise transfer
Loaned to Nàstic de Tarragone in the Spanish third division during the second half of the season, Keyliane Abdallah delivered consistent good performances. This has made the OM attacker a wanted player in France.
Used by Roberto De Zerbi in some friendly matches in recent months, Keyliane Abdallah has rarely been used with the Olympique de Marseille first team. Lacking playing time, the 20-year-old attacker was consequently loaned to the Spanish third division during the previous winter transfer window. Playing for Nàstic de Tarragone, the 1.85m winger stood out, scoring two goals in the league. These good performances have made the Spanish club want to continue the adventure with Abdallah.
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Keyliane Abdallah, 20, returns to OM after his loan to Nàstic de Tarragone. According to our information, Toulouse, Montpellier and Guingamp are all three interested in signing him this summer. Nàstic is very satisfied with his loan and would like to keep him for one more season.
The Tarragone club hopes to convince OM to loan out its young attacker for an additional season. But that is not really the trend according to La Minute OM, which informs us that at least three French clubs are interested in Keyliane Abdallah‘s profile. “According to our information, Toulouse, Montpellier and Guingamp are all three after him to sign him this summer. Nàstic is very satisfied with his loan and would like to keep him for an additional season. The Olympian attacker has several options in L1/L2. Decision in the coming weeks,” reveals the specialised X account.
Abdallah is sought after in L1 and L2
New sporting director Grégory Lorenzi will have the final say on this case and for OM‘s new strongman, it seems quite obvious that a loan to Ligue 1 or Ligue 2 will be preferred, rather than sending Abdallah back to a third-division club in Spain. It remains to be seen whether the Marseille winger, under professional contract with OM, has the level to play in Ligue 1 for a club like Toulouse. Or whether the Marseille leaders will favour a loan to Ligue 2, to Guingamp or Montpellier for example, to ensure that Keyliane Abdallah gets significant playing time in 2026-2027.
