While OM is working on the arrival of Adrien Truffert, Renan Lodi could be sold to facilitate this transfer.

While the second part of the season promises to be busy, theOlympic Marseille, which is without seven players due to CAN 2023, intends to take advantage of the winter transfer window to strengthen itself. The Marseille club has already started its shopping by loaning Jean Onana from Besiktas and is currently working on the arrival of Adrien Truffert from Rennes.

But at 22 years old and with a contract extended until 2026, the French international should represent an expensive operation, and Marseille’s finances are limited. To facilitate his arrival, the club management could then part with one element, and that is Renan Lodi who could be sacrificed, as revealed The Team this Friday. Recruited last summer, the Brazilian plays a lot due to lack of competition for his position but has not really convinced so far. Having a good market value (€20M according to Transfermarkt), it could represent a means of financing the arrival of Truffert but also of Josh Doig, who would ensure rotation in this position.

In England, Brentford would be interested in the former Atlético Madrid player and could make an offer in the form of a loan with an option to buy this winter.
