The little music of the transfer window is starting to be heard again. One month before the January market opens, phones are heating up. It’s about placing your pawns and taking information. This is the case for OM in particular, who should try to strengthen their defense after a delicate first part of the season in this sector of play.We’re going to take stock with the president. When we see the goals we score, Paris, Auxerre, they are gifts», had also affirmed Medhi Benatia in mid-November on the airwaves of RMC.
The first rumors are coming out, and yet it is in midfield that a name has already stood out. We have learned in recent hours in the Gazzetta dello Sport that the Marseille club was interested in the profile of Nicolò Fagioli. At only 23 years old, the Italian’s career is already full of twists and turns. His successful loan to Cremonese three years ago opened the doors to the first team at the Bianconeri, where he was trained. He was stopped in his tracks by his heavy suspension last season for participating in sports betting.
OM must face competition from PSG
This practice is prohibited for professional players but for Fagioli, it was above all a gaming addiction. He even went so far as to go into debt to satisfy his urges. After his 7-month suspension, three quarters of last season, the 23-year-old had the courage to talk about his demons. This form of repentance allowed him to return to the field in the spring and even to be called up to the Euro where he participated in the last two matches of the Squadra Azzurra. With Thiago Motta at the helm of Juventus, the situation is different.
The native of Piacenza plays less and less (14 matches in all competitions including 6 starts) and is one of the players from whom the Old Lady could easily part ways. In today’s edition, Gazzetta dello Sport even speaks of an amount between €25 and €30 million. A significant sum especially for OM, who would have taken a head start in this matter in particular because of the profile of Fagioli appreciated by De Zerbi. But the competition promises to be tough since the daily newspaper also mentions the interest… of PSG.
