Angers’ Himad Abdelli gives priority to Marseille move

According to a report from Foot Mercato, Angers SCO midfielder Himad Abdelli has given priority to a move to Olympique de Marseille, as he approaches the final months of his contract.The 26-year-old is set to become a free agent in June, with Olympique Lyonnais also one of many clubs monitoring the Algerian international’s situation. Currently away on international duty with the Algeria national team at the w025 Africa Cup of Nations, Abdelli has nonetheless remained at the centre of discussions behind the scenes. His contractual status allows him to sign a pre-contract agreement this month ahead of a free transfer in the summer.OM are now expected to assess whether to wait until the end of the season or attempt to reach an agreement with Angers during the January transfer window, with the Ligue 1 side keen to avoid losing one of their key players for nothing.GFFN | George Boxall
