Olympique de Marseille is in a dynamic phase thanks to a player who came from nowhere. The return of former captain Valentin Rongier after a long injury absence brings a breath of fresh air. Furthermore, the club led by Roberto De Zerbi is targeting Brazilian full-back Danilo, from Juventus, for a free transfer.
Absent since November 2023 for a fractured kneecap, Rongier marked his comeback during the victories against Lens (1-3) and Monaco (2-1). His radiant performance makes him a major asset in keeping OM in the race for the podium. At no additional cost, his comeback is seen as an XXL recruit for De Zerbi, who is pleased to have recovered an executive ready to lead the Marseille collective.
A free arrival at OM?
At the same time, OM is actively working to strengthen its squad in January. According to The Teamright-back Danilo, at the end of his contract at Juventus, could join Marseille for free this winter. Aged 33, the Brazilian, who wishes to terminate his contract, would bring his experience to the Marseille rearguard. With this potential signing, De Zerbi hopes to consolidate his squad to continue to compete at the top of the table.
