One year from the end of his contract, Leonardo Bonucci intends to leave Juventus to find playing time. OM are on the spot to afford the prestigious Italian defender.
If Olympique de Marseille is about to finalize the official sale of Arkadiusz Milik to Juventus in Turin for 7 million euros, the Marseille club could continue to do business with the Italians. This summer, OM will have several major projects. The first is to find a new coach, but you also have to recruit in several sectors to improve the team and hope to do better than the previous season. Marseille must in particular strengthen its defense. If the arrivals of Samuel Gigot and Chancel Mbemba have been conclusive, the coming season is likely to be tougher and OM would like to recruit another central defender, especially with the departure of Éric Bailly who failed to relaunch with the Marseillais. According to information from Tuttosport, OM are seriously tracking Leonardo Bonucci. At 36, the Italian international (121 caps) will probably have to settle for a substitute role at Juventus. A situation that does not escape Marseille.

The Italian press claims that OM could be the way out for the Italian defender whose contract comes to an end in a year. Marseille is an interesting bet since the Marseille club will play at least the Europe League, while the Old Lady will be in the Conference League. A blow for the double finalist of the Champions League who is obviously not decided to leave Europe immediately. It remains to be seen whether OM will be able to pay his salary, which is around 12 million euros, or whether Leonardo Bonucci will agree to make an effort to join the Marseillais. It will probably be the second option that will be chosen. Pablo Longoria remains on the lookout as Alessandro Lucci, the former AC Milan player’s agent, is currently working to find him a new club this summer. There is a big blow to try for OM.
