Very active this summer on the transfer market, OM promises to hit hard again this winter if current rumors are to be believed.

The summer was hot in Marseille, the winter will not necessarily be less eventful. Within a month, OM promises to make its mark once again on the transfer market, with many projects in perspective. In defense, particularly, but not only…

On its back base, the Marseille club tends to falter, which frankly annoys Roberto De Zerbi who is sometimes taken aback by the wanderings and generosity of his players. A right-back thus will most certainly strengthen the squad – the track of the international Espoirs tricolor de Fribourg, Kiliann Sildillia, having been reactivated in particular according to L’Equipe, which also cites the Brazilian side of Juve, Danilo.

The axis will obviously not be spared, Chancel Mbemba and Bamo Méïté being announced as starters and the Italian coach aroused wishing to challenge his captain – Leonardo Balerdi – a little by finding him a double. The left of the central hinge being to be rethought, Lilian Brassier and Derek Cornelius also have every chance of being in greater competition – the rumor even sending the former Brestois already far from the Marseille city. Another rumor this weekend evoking an interest of the Olympians in the French defender of Chelsea Benoît Badiashile, in need of playing time with the Blues.

Italian internationals in the sights

So much for the priorities, OM for the rest clearly not refraining from other alterations, on the offensive. With young Valentin Carboni on the sidelines for a long time, “RDZ” would like to add to his team a midfielder capable of projecting himself forward when Amine Harit and Ismaël Koné appear a little soft to him. The pearl sought could be the Turinese Nicolo Fagioli, whom the Gazzetta dello Sport considers close to Marseille, and even motivated by the idea of ​​playing under the orders of his compatriot Roberto De Zerbi.

Italy and Serie A still, the trend would also be towards the recruitment of an additional attacker, and if possible a versatile forward capable of playing the counterpart of Mason Greenwood on the left, where Luis Henrique sometimes lacks bite. The profile chosen would be that of the Neapolitan Giacomo Raspadori. A talented element who played under the orders of De Zerbi at Sassuolo and who Antonio Conte will not remember: “ It becomes difficult to give him minutes after the starterssays the former coach of the Nazionale. I have already let players go who I found strong. I did it this summer, and we will do it in January too. »
