With the transfer window approaching its deadline, Olympique de Marseille have reportedly reconsidered their position regarding several key members of the squad. While the door had previously appeared open to numerous departures, four players are now said to be considered virtually untouchable.
Following the 2-0 defeat at Monaco, Bruno Genesio suggested that OM would probably not make any further signings before the end of the transfer window. It is a difficult situation for the Marseille coach, who had been hoping for several more moves to help rebalance his squad.

The club now wants to keep all four players, particularly because there is very little time left to find suitable replacements. The decision also reflects OM’s desire to avoid weakening the squad further during the final hours of the transfer window.
A major offer could still change the situation before the market closes on Tuesday evening. However, as things stand, OM reportedly have every intention of keeping all four key players.
